Monet’s Cheese Galettes Recipe

Le Déjeuner sur l'Herbe by Claude Monet, 1865-1866

Inspiration for our June apéro: Le Déjeuner sur l'Herbe by Claude Monet. “Blue skidoo, we can too!”

We designed our June menu to be split into two meals since it’s summer. Bring your apéro on a picnic before heading back home for the entree and dessert. Bonus points if you ordered the cheese and the mini charcuterie to add to your picnic spread:)

Order The June Box here! These cheese galettes are a great addition to a picnic as they take about 15 minutes to make — and they’re delicious even at room temperature.
