Best 3 Chef John Tomato Galette Recipes
Indulge in the delightful simplicity of Chef John's Tomato Galette, a rustic French tart that captures the essence of summer flavors. With its flaky, golden crust and a vibrant filling of juicy tomatoes, herbs, and cheese, this savory dish is a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The recipe offers two variations: a classic tomato galette and a sun-dried tomato galette. Both versions promise a tantalizing combination of textures and flavors, making them perfect for a light lunch, a summer picnic, or an elegant brunch.
The classic tomato galette showcases the beauty of fresh, ripe tomatoes, which are tossed with aromatic herbs, garlic, and tangy cheese, then nestled in a tender, buttery crust. The sun-dried tomato galette, on the other hand, adds a burst of concentrated flavor with sun-dried tomatoes, creating a delightful contrast with the creamy goat cheese and fresh basil. Whether you prefer the classic or the sun-dried tomato variation, this recipe guarantees a delicious and visually stunning dish that will leave you craving for more.
CHEF JOHN'S TOMATO TART
One of these days Michele and I will travel to the south of France, where we'll eat this amazing tomato tart at least once a day. It's going to be hot, since we'll have to go in the middle of summer to enjoy best possible tomatoes, but that's fine, as long as there's chilled rosé. One layer of tomato is plenty, since more than that will make for an overly wet tart, which means your pastry will not stay crispy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place 2 pieces of puff pastry onto a silicone-lined baking sheet. Press the short seam of 1 piece onto the other to form the rectangular base of the tart. Cut seams off the other 2 pieces of puff pastry and press them into the edges of the base to act as the border.
- Freeze dough until firm, about 10 minutes.
- Score border with a knife, making shallow cuts 1/4-inch apart. Press the bottom of a fork onto the seam in the middle and poke holes all over the base.
- Bake tart shell until lightly golden and partially puffed, about 10 minutes. Press down on the base using the bottom of a fork. Avoid pressing border. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Spread mustard over the inside of the tart. Arrange tomato slices into a single layer on top and cut a few slices in half to fill in the gaps. Season with salt and pepper. Generously sprinkle herbes de Provence on top. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle most of the olive oil on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is well browned and crispy, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature on the baking sheet or transfer to a wire rack using 2 spatulas. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the tart and sprinkle fresh oregano, parsley, and thyme on top.

CHERRY TOMATO AND CHEESE GALETTE
While 'galette' sounds a little fancy, they're actually one of the easier type of pies to make, and above and beyond the simple technique, they are incredibly adaptable to whatever is in season. Whether that's sweet fruit or savory vegetables, there are very few things you can't galette. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is key to making a delicious galette. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and feel heavy for their size.
- Slice the tomatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly in the galette. If the tomatoes are different sizes, cut them into wedges so that they are all roughly the same thickness.
- Use a good quality olive oil. This will add flavor to the galette and help the crust brown evenly. If you don't have olive oil, you can use another type of cooking oil, such as vegetable oil or canola oil.
- Season the tomatoes well with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out their flavor. You can also add other herbs or spices, such as basil, oregano, or garlic powder.
- Don't overcrowd the galette. This will prevent the crust from cooking evenly. Leave some space between the tomatoes so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the galette until the crust is golden brown and the tomatoes are tender. This will take about 30-35 minutes. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can cover the galette withアルミホイル.
Conclusion:
Chef John's tomato galette is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is made with a simple crust that is filled with ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The galette is then baked until the crust is golden brown and the tomatoes are tender. This dish can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish.
