Tomato Galette

This vibrant tomato galette is a celebration of seasonal produce, featuring a buttery, flaky pastry crust filled with juicy heirloom tomatoes and a savoury layer of melted cheese. The thin slices of garlic and fresh chives add a delicate depth of flavour, while the lemon zest provides a bright, citrusy finish that cuts through the richness of the dough. It is a rustic yet elegant tart that highlights why simple, high-quality ingredients are often the best choice for home cooking.

Served warm or at room temperature, this versatile vegetarian dish is ideal for a relaxed weekend lunch or as a sophisticated starter for a dinner party. The pastry can be prepared up to two days in advance, making it a convenient option for stress-free entertaining. Pair it with a crisp green salad and a glass of chilled white wine for a truly quintessential summer meal that feels both comforting and light.

Ingredients for Tomato Galette

  • 250g plain flour, plus more for dusting

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

  • 170g (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 675g heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/4" thick

  • 2 vitlöksklyftor, tunt skivade

  • 110g firm cheese (such as Asiago, cheddar, or Gouda), finely grated (about 230g )

  • 1 large egg, beaten to blend

  • Flaky sea salt

  • Nymalen svartpeppar

  • 1/2 lemon

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives

Pulse 250g flour and 1 1/4 teaspoons 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 60ml 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 204°C. Gently toss tomatoes, garlic, and remaining 1 teaspoon 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.
