Tomato Galette with Herbed Goat Cheese
Flaky, buttery galette smeared in herbed goat cheese and topped with thinly sliced shallots, fresh garlic, and beautiful heirloom tomatoes.
Instructions
Make the crust
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut in the butter until it resembles small pea-sized crumbs.
- Add the water. Add one more tablespoon of water if the dough seems dry. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it all comes together.
- Shape the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour and up to 2 days.
Prepare Herbed Goat Cheese
- While the dough chills, prepare the herbed goat cheese. In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese, olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper and thoroughly mix until creamy.
Make Galette
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a ΒΌ inch thick circle. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Smear the herbed goat cheese on the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 2-inch border along the edges.
- On top of the goat cheese, evenly place the shallots and garlic.
- Generously season the heirloom tomatoes with salt and pepper. Then evenly place them on the galette.
- Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle with fresh thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Fold up the edges of the dough around the tomatoes. Brush the crust with the beaten egg.
- Bake the galette for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the crust is golden.
