CHERRY TOMATO AND CHEESE GALETTE



Cherry Tomato and Cheese Galette image

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.

Time 2h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal
½ teaspoon fine salt
½ cup frozen unsalted butter, cubed
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
¼ cup ice water
1 (8 ounce) package soft goat cheese
1 egg yolk
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sliced fresh basil
3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons water
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, or as desired
sea salt to taste

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.

BURST TOMATO GALETTE WITH CORN AND ZUCCHINI



Burst Tomato Galette with Corn and Zucchini image

Provided by Deb Perelman : Smitten Kitchen : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups (160 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for the counter
1/4 teaspoon table salt
8 tablespoons (4 ounces or 113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces and chilled again
1/4 cup (60 grams) plain yogurt or sour cream
2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
3 cups (about 450 grams) cherry or grape tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher or sea salt
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
1 small (8 ounces or 225 grams) zucchini or summer squash, diced
1 ear corn, kernels cut from the cob (about 1 cup)
1 bundle (3 to 4 ounces or 85 to 115 grams) scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup (2 ounces or 55 grams) grated Parmesan
1 egg yolk beaten with 1 teaspoon water, for the glaze

Steps:

  • For the pastry: Whisk-stir the flour and salt in a large bowl. Sprinkle bits of the butter over the dough and, using a pastry blender or your fingertips, work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal, with the biggest pieces of butter the size of tiny peas. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt or sour cream, lemon juice and about 1/4 cup water and add this to the butter-flour mixture. With your fingertips or a wooden spoon, mix in the liquid until large lumps form. Pat the lumps into a ball. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour, or up to 2 days.
  • For the filling: Get down the saute pan with the lid. If you don't have one, any large lid will do. Add the olive oil, tomatoes, salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if that's your thing) to your saute pan, then cover and heat over high heat. Roll the tomatoes around from time to time so that they'll cook evenly. In a few minutes, you'll hear some putts and pops as the tomatoes burst a little. When most have, remove the lid, turn the heat down to medium and add the zucchini chunks. Saute until they soften, about 2 minutes. Add the corn and cook 1 minute. Add the scallions, just stirring them in, then turn off the heat. Adjust the seasonings if needed. Transfer the mixture to a large plate and spread it out so that it will cool faster. (You want it cooled to at least lukewarm before assembling the galette.)
  • Assemble the galette: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • On a floured counter, roll the dough out into a 12-inch round (it really doesn't need to be perfectly shaped). Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet; I like to fold my dough gently, without creasing, in quarters, then unfold it onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tomato-zucchini-corn mixture with half of the Parmesan and spoon the mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. If any liquid has puddled in the plate, try to leave it there as you spoon. Sprinkle with almost all of the remaining Parmesan, leaving a pinch or two behind for the crust. Fold the border over the filling, pleating the edge to make it fit. The center will be open. Brush the crust with the egg yolk glaze. Sprinkle the glaze with the last pinches of Parmesan.
  • Bake until puffed and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes, then slide the galette onto a serving plate.

Time 3h

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 cocktail tomatoes (about 12 ounces total), halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 3/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour, and more for dusting
1 tablespoon sugar
1 stick cold, unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus 2 tablespoons
1 1/2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated (1/2 cup lightly packed)
2 1/2 ounces Gruyère, shredded (1 1/4 cups)
3 to 5 tablespoons ice-cold water
1 clove garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
3/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears)
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch rounds (1 1/3 cups)
Flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange tomatoes, cut-sides up, on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet; season with kosher salt. Roast until tomatoes shrink and collapse slightly, about 1 hour. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, pulse 1 3/4 cups flour, sugar, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor until combined. Add cubed butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and 1/2 cup Gruyère; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Drizzle 3 tablespoons ice-cold water evenly over mixture; pulse until it holds together when pressed between your fingers. (Dough should not be wet or sticky; if too dry, pulse in more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Add garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon flour; cook until nutty and golden, about 2 minutes more. Add milk, return to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add remaining 3/4 cup Gruyère and mustard; whisk until smooth. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured sheet of parchment, roll out dough to a 14-inch round. Spread cheese sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Scatter half of corn evenly over sauce, then scatter zucchini evenly over corn. Top with roasted tomatoes, cut-sides up, and sprinkle with remaining corn. Season with flaky salt and pepper. Fold edges of dough up over vegetables, then brush dough with beaten egg. Transfer galette on parchment to a baking sheet.
  • Bake until crust is golden brown and set on bottom, and vegetables are tender and golden brown in places, 1 hour, 10 minutes to 1 hour, 20 minutes (if crust is browning too quickly, tent with foil). Transfer on parchment to a wire rack. Let cool until warm but no longer hot (about 30 minutes), or completely, before slicing and serving.

ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH FIRE ROASTED TOMATO SALSA AND POTATO CHEESE GALETTE



Roasted Beef Tenderloin with Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa and Potato Cheese Galette image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon coriander, toasted and crushed
Olive oil, for searing
2 cups mixed greens
2 tablespoons olive oil
Tomato Salsa, recipe follows
Potato Cheese Galette, recipe follows
5 Roma tomatoes
2 chipotles, reconstituted
1/2 cup chopped basil
1/4 cup minced garlic
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup olive oil
1 pound baking potato, peeled and cut into very thin rounds
1/4 cup clarified butter
Salt
2 ounces shredded mozzarella
2 ounces fresh goat cheese

Steps:

  • Season the beef with salt, pepper, and coriander.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a saute pan, heat some of the olive oil until smoking and sear the beef until browned all over. Transfer to oven and cook until medium rare, (120-degree internal temperature) about 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Season mixed greens with the two tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper. Divide evenly onto 4 plates. Cut the tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick slices and place slices on top of mixed greens. Spoon half of the tomato salsa over the beef (do not cover completely) and serve remaining salsa on the side. Serve with Potato Cheese Galette.
  • Over a hot grill, roast the tomatoes until blackened. Transfer to a bowl and add the chipotles. Cover and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Add the basil, garlic and lime juice and marinate for 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor and pulse until chunky. Transfer to a bowl and add the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of olive oil. Reserve.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the potato slices in a double layer in a medium bowl, pour the clarified butter over, and toss to coat the slices. Season lightly with salt. Arrange half the potatoes, flower fashion, in a 9-inch ovenproof skillet. Cook over medium heat until the ends begin to brown and the potatoes stick together (this will keep the cheeses from running through). Sprinkle with the cheeses and cover with the remaining potatoes, arranged the same way as the bottom layer. Set in the oven for 10 minutes, carefully flip potatoes with a wide spatula, and brown on a medium-high flame. Return to the oven for 5 minutes longer. Cut into 4 quarters and keep warm.

TOMATO GALETTE



Tomato Galette image

Salting the tomatoes ahead of time and letting them release some of their liquid is essential. It will allow the tomatoes to caramelize and ensures that the bottom of the crust stays flaky.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 lb. heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/4" thick
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 oz. firm cheese (such as Asiago, cheddar, or Gouda), finely grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large egg, beaten to blend
Flaky sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lemon
1 Tbsp. finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • Pulse 2 cups flour and 1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl; drizzle with vinegar and 1/4 cup ice water. Mix with a fork, adding more ice water by the tablespoonful as needed, just until a shaggy dough comes together. Turn out onto a work surface and lightly knead until no dry spots remain (be careful not to overwork). Pat into a disk and wrap in plastic. Chill at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Gently toss tomatoes, garlic, and remaining 1 tsp. kosher salt in a large bowl. Let sit 5 minutes (tomatoes will start releasing some liquid). Drain tomato mixture and transfer to paper towels.
  • Unwrap dough and roll out on a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper to a 14" round about 1/8" thick. Transfer on parchment to a baking sheet. Scatter cheese over dough, leaving a 1 1/2" border. Arrange tomatoes and garlic over cheese. Bring edges of dough up and over filling, overlapping as needed to create about a 1 1/2" border; brush dough with egg. Sprinkle tomatoes with sea salt and pepper. Chill in freezer 10 minutes.
  • Bake galette, rotating once, until crust is golden brown and cooked through, 55-65 minutes. Let cool slightly on baking sheet. Finely grate zest from lemon over galette; sprinkle with chives.
  • Do Ahead: Dough can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 yellow squash, sliced lenghtwise
2 medium zucchini, slice lenghtwise
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 refrigerated pie crust
1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped basil
4 plum tomatoes, sliced
1 egg white, beaten

Steps:

  • Heat grill.
  • In a large bowl, toss yellow squash and zucchini slices with oil and salt.
  • Grill vegetables, turning once until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Let cool.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • On lightly floured surface, roll piecrust into a 14" circle.
  • Carefully transfer to a baking sheet.
  • In small bowl, combine cheese, bread crumbs and basil.
  • Spread mixture in a 9" circle in middle of piecrust.
  • Arrange half of the grilled vegetable slices in spoke fashion to cover cheese mixture.
  • Place tomato slices over squash.
  • Arrange remaining squash slices over tomatoes.
  • Fold outer edge of dough over vegetables to make top layer of crust.
  • Brush top with the beaten egg white.
  • Bake 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your galette. Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes that are sweet and juicy. If you can, use heirloom tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Don't overwork the dough: The dough for a galette should be rustic and flaky, so don't overwork it. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Roll the dough out evenly: When you roll out the dough, make sure to do it evenly so that the galette is the same thickness throughout. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Pre-bake the dough: Pre-baking the dough before adding the filling will help to prevent it from becoming soggy. Bake the dough for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding the filling.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses will give your galette a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of hard and soft cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella.
  • Don't overcrowd the galette: When you add the filling to the galette, don't overcrowd it. Leave some space around the edges so that the dough can rise and puff up during baking.
  • Bake the galette until the crust is golden brown: The galette is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will usually take about 30-35 minutes.

Conclusion:

A tomato galette is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a tomato galette that is sure to impress your family and friends.
