Ingredients
- Crust
2 cups flour
3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (1.5 sticks)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup ice water, plus more as needed
- Goat Cheese Filling
4 ounces goat cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
2 cloves minced garlic
- Tomatoes
1 pound roma tomatoes
- Egg Wash
1 egg, whisked
- Garnish
flaky sea salt
additional chopped oregano and basil
Directions
- Crust
- Combine the flour, butter, and salt in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- Transfer to a large bowl. Add the vinegar and ice water. Mix with a fork until a shaggy dough comes together. You may need to gradually add more water while mixing if the dough.
- Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead the dough until no dry spots remain, but be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Refrigerate the dough for 2 hours.
- Once chilled, roll to about ⅛” thick on a lightly floured surface. Try to make the dough as round as possible.
- Goat Cheese Filling
- In a small bowl, combine all of the goat cheese filling ingredients.
- Spread the filling evenly in the center, leaving about 2 inches for the crust.
- Tomatoes
- Slice your tomatoes to about ¼ of an inch thick. Salt both sides, and transfer to a paper towel-lined sheet tray. Allow the tomatoes to release their excess moisture for at least 10 minutes.
- Start in the center of the galette and layer the tomato slices in a spiral.
- Fold the crust over the edges of the tomatoes. Brush the exposed crust with egg wash. Top everything with flaky sea salt.
- Bake at 400F for 40-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Top with additional sea salt, pepper, basil, and oregano if desired. Slice and enjoy!
