This recipe was created by Marjorie Taylor and Kendall Smith Francini, the mother-daughter duo who founded The Cook’s Atelier, a cooking school in Burgundy, France. Rustic and beautiful, these galettes are a wonderful beginning to a spring lunch. You can also make this as one large galette and serve it alongside a leafy green salad. Search your farmers’ market for wild garlic leaves or fresh ramp leaves, as they complement the freshness of the goat cheese. If you can’t find wild garlic or fresh ramps, garlic chives and garlic scapes are good alternatives. The recipe for the pâte brisée makes enough for two 9-inch (23-cm) tarts or sixteen 4-inch (10-cm) tartlets; you will need to prepare only a half batch of the dough for these galettes.
Note: The recipe calls for halving the leeks lengthwise and cutting them crosswise into thin slices. But for another dramatic presentation, you can also slice them lengthwise and use them for one large galette (as pictured).
