Toppings & Assembly
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Caramelized Onions: Place butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When butter has melted place the sliced onions in skillet. Let cook about 9 to 10 minutes on each side. Remove from heat when done and leave in skillet.
While the onions cook, used the tines of a fork and cross-hatch the apple to break the skin on entire apple. Core, slice, and place in bowl of about 4 cups cold water with 1 teaspoon salt to prevent oxidization.
In separate bowl stir the sour cream and mascarpone cheese together until well combined.
Spread the sour cream-mascarpone mixture on the dough to within 1 to 1-1/2 inches from edge.
Drain the apples on paper toweling and place onto the sour cream layer.
Sprinkle on thyme and oregano.
Use a spatula and place caramelized onions on apples. Fold over the edges of the galette (some of the apple slices will be covered up.
Sprinkle on the white cheddar cheese and bake 30 minutes @ 375 F. Let cool 5 minutes before serving. Best when warm, but also great straight from fridge (if you have any leftovers).
