Ingredients

Units Scale
For the Herb-Infused Crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice-cold water
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped thyme
For the Filling:
  • 1 cup heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup grated cheese (like mozzarella, fontina, or Gruyère)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Assembly:
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Herb-Infused Crust (15 minutes): In a bowl, combine flour, salt, rosemary, and thyme. Add in the cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice-cold water, mixing just until the dough comes together. Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat Oven (5 minutes): Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Assemble the Galette (15 minutes): Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the cheese over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange the heirloom and cherry tomato slices on top of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the edges of the dough over the tomatoes, pleating as needed.
  4. Final Touches and Bake (25-30 minutes): Brush the crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden and the tomatoes are tender.
  5. Garnish and Serve (5 minutes): Once out of the oven, allow the galette to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.

Notes

This tomato galette shines as a testament to the beauty of simple, fresh ingredients. To elevate the dish even further, consider adding a drizzle of balsamic reduction after baking or serve with a fresh green salad on the side. When choosing tomatoes, pick ones that are ripe but still firm to ensure they hold their shape during baking. Dive into this galette and embrace the medley of flavors it offers!
