A RUSTIC TOMATO GALETTE THAT TASTES LIKE SUMMER
Tomato season is in full swing and we couldn’t be happier with our harvest. Kris has been canning crushed tomatoes, sauce, salsas, and even a delicious spicy tomato jam (coming to the blog soon). As for me, I have been eating a tomato salad for lunch everyday and I’m not stopping until the end of the season!
Today we’re baking a Goat Cheese & Pesto Tomato Galette. I must admit, I’m obsessed with galettes! They’re really easy to bake, you can go sweet or savory, and the more imperfect they look the better. I like to refer to any dish with charming mishaps or imperfections as “rustic”—nobody will know the difference! The creamy goat cheese combined with the pungent herbal flavors of pesto, and the sweetness of tomatoes is simply summer on a plate. The key to a delicious tomato galette? The tomatoes obviously! Make sure they are ripe, sweet , and recently picked.
I may have mentioned this before but I absolutely love this crust recipe! It’s really easy to make, bakes well, and it seems to hold in the juices perfectly with no soggy bottom. The cornmeal addition gives the crust a wonderful texture and if you like it, this crust is great to use with other recipes, including sweet fruit galettes.
See our simple recipe below and happy tomato season everyone!
