From above, you witness a beautifully golden, thin, round galette sitting pretty on a weathered wooden platter. The rich, yellow eggs with pockets of melted brie peeking through and caramelized shallots scattered on top gives a rustic elegance. Chop parsley sprinkled over the top adds a pop of color.

Beat the eggs with the milk and season with salt and pepper.
Step 7 - 🥚🥧🔥

Pour the beaten egg mixture over the baked shallot and Brie layers. Return the galette to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the egg is set and the galette is crispy and golden.
