Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 4 sausages (preferably Toulouse or other French-style sausages)
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Special equipment needed:
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Cut off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil. Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and fragrant.
3. While the garlic is roasting, cook the sausages in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned on all sides.
4. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into four equal rectangles.
5. Spread the roasted garlic cloves on each rectangle, leaving a border of about 1/2 inch around the edges.
6. Place a cooked sausage on top of the garlic on each rectangle.
7. Sprinkle the grated Asiago cheese over the sausages.
8. Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the sausages, pinching the corners to seal.
9. Place the galettes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
10. Serve hot.
