Tomato And Mozzarella Galette Recipes

TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lay the tomatoes out on a paper towel and sprinkle with a few pinches kosher salt so that some moisture drains out of them.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment and place the round of pie dough on top (if using homemade dough, roll it out into a round that is 11- to 12-inches in diameter).
• Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash, then sprinkle with the mozzarella, garlic and fresh basil. Top with the tomatoes. Fold over the edges and pleat. Brush the outside edges with the egg wash and sprinkle with flaky salt and pepper.
• Bake the galette until the edges are golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Finish with more basil and enjoy!

FRESH MOZZARELLA AND TOMATO

Steps:

• On round plate, arrange tomato and cheese slices alternately. Drizzle oil and vinegar over tomatoes and cheese. Sprinkle with basil and pepper.
• Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes to blend flavors. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.

ROASTED TOMATO AND HERBED CHEESE GALETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Place tomatoes cut-side down on paper towel-lined plate, and let drain 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon of the basil, the thyme, salt and garlic powder.
• Unroll pie crust on cookie sheet. Spread ricotta mixture over center of crust to within 1 1/4 inches of edge of crust. Top with tomatoes, cut-side up, and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
• Fold 1 1/4-inch edge of crust over filling, pleating crust as necessary. Brush egg mixture over crust edge, and sprinkle with remaining 4 teaspoons Parmesan cheese. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool 15 minutes.
• To serve, cut into 6 wedges. Garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon basil.

CHERRY TOMATO AND CHEESE GALETTE

Steps:

• Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and frozen butter in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add vinegar and ice water and pulse again until mixture comes together in clumps, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Wrap dough up in plastic wrap and shape into a disc. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 hour.
• Combine goat cheese, egg yolk, kosher salt, pepper, cayenne, and basil in a bowl. Mix using a spatula until smooth and soft.
• Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and sprinkle top with flour. Roll out into 1/8-inch-thick circle, about 13 inches in diameter. Roll dough over the rolling pin and transfer onto a 12-inch pizza pan; refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and Dijon mustard together in a bowl.
• Drop spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto the dough and spread evenly, leaving about 1 1/2-inch space on the sides. Place tomato mixture on top of cheese using a slotted spoon. Fold excess dough up and over tomatoes, creating a pleat every 3 inches or so by gently pressing and folding.
• Combine beaten egg and water in a small bowl; brush over crust. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over galette.
• Place a foil-lined pan on the rack under galette to catch any possible drips. Bake in the preheated oven until well browned on bottom and top, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining olive oil and sea salt. Serve room temperature or chilled.

TOMATO GALETTE

Steps:

• Tip the tomatoes into a colander set over a large bowl, sprinkle over 1 tsp salt and set aside for 1 hr to draw out the moisture. Meanwhile, make the pastry. Tip the flour, butter and a good pinch of salt into a food processor and blitz to a fine breadcrumb-like consistency. Beat the eggs in a jug, then tip into the processor and pulse to a soft dough - if it seems dry, add ½ tsp cold water at a time until it comes together. Shape into a disc, then wrap and chill for 20 mins.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the tomatoes into a large bowl with the cheese, garlic, herbs and a good grinding of black pepper. Gently combine using your hands and set aside.
• Roll the chilled pastry out on a lightly floured surface to a roughly 30cm circle. Pile the tomato mixture into the middle, leaving a roughly 5cm border around the edge. Brush the exposed pastry border with some beaten egg, then fold the border up so it slightly overlaps the tomato filling. It doesn't need to be even or neat.
• Brush the pastry with more beaten egg, then bake for 40-50 mins until the pastry is golden and the tomatoes have softened and are tender.

TOMATO AND FETA GALETTE

Steps:

• Heat butter and oil together in a skillet over medium heat; add onion. Cook and stir until onion is translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper into onion; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
• Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place puff pastry on parchment paper. Place baking sheet in the freezer.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Arrange tomato slices on a wire rack placed on top of a baking sheet. Sprinkle salt over tomato slices and set aside to drain tomatoes, about 10 minutes.
• Mix Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, feta cheese, and parsley together in a bowl. Spread 1/2 of this cheese mixture over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Layer the onion mixture over cheese mixture layer.
• Blot tomatoes dry and arrange over onion layer. Sprinkle remaining cheese mixture over tomato layer. Fold the puff pastry border over the edges of the tomatoes and lightly brush egg over pastry.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden and puffed, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle fresh basil over galette and allow to cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
