Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced red onion, sliced cabbage, fresh thyme sprigs, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the vegetables.
3
Add the crumbled sausage and grated cheddar cheese to the bowl. Toss gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Spoon the cabbage and sausage mixture onto the center of the crust, spreading it evenly but leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.

Carefully fold the edges of the crust over the filling to create a rustic galette shape, making pleats as needed.

Brush the folded edges of the crust with the beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are tender. If the crust browns too quickly, cover it lightly with foil.
