Asparagus & ricotta whole wheat galette (galette de espárragos y ricotta)

I love make pies or quiches but adore the Galette. It's like a pie but I think is better and easier than pie. The crust is buttery and flaky but is own pretty and simple, rustic way.


And the best of all you can fill with other vegetables, meats or cheeses and you will love!


I adapted this recipe from Simple Bites
