Savory Tomato Galette
A delicious and rustic galette filled with fresh tomatoes and caramelized onions, perfect for showcasing summer's bounty.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Sweet ripe tomatoes Heirloom or vine-ripened for best flavor
- 1 pre-made pie crust or galette dough If making homemade dough, roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness
- 1 cup caramelized onions Cooked until golden and sweet
- to taste Salt For seasoning
- to taste Pepper For seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil For drizzling and caramelizing onions
- a few sprigs Fresh herbs (such as basil or thyme) For garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- If using a pre-made crust, allow it to rest while preparing the filling. If making homemade dough, roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Slice onions thinly and cook slowly until they become golden and sweet, about 20-30 minutes.
- While the onions are caramelizing, slice the ripe tomatoes about 1/4 inch thick. You can remove the seeds if you prefer less moisture.
Assembly and Baking
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the rolled-out crust, leaving 1-2 inches around the edges.
- Layer the tomato slices over the onions, slightly overlapping them. Season with salt, pepper, and drizzle olive oil over the top.
- Gently fold the edges of the crust over the filling to create a rustic look.
- Place the galette on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
- Once cooled slightly, garnish with fresh herbs before slicing and enjoying.
Notes
To prevent a soggy bottom, layer your onions and tomatoes neatly and consider sprinkling breadcrumbs or grated cheese under the filling. Customize by adding cheese like goat cheese or feta, or a balsamic reduction.
