Simple Tomato Galette with Parmesan

A rustic and fuss-free tomato galette featuring a flaky, cheesy crust and juicy heirloom tomatoes, perfect for a quick homemade dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups plain flour
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 46 heirloom tomatoes, sliced
  • Dijon mustard or ricotta cheese for spreading
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and grated Parmesan.
  2. Add cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in ice water until a dough forms, then chill for 10 minutes.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard or ricotta cheese on top.
  5. Arrange sliced tomatoes on the crust and sprinkle with additional Parmesan and black pepper.
  6. Fold the edges of the crust over the filling in a rustic manner.

Notes

Pat tomato slices dry before layering to avoid a soggy crust. Use pre-made pie crust for convenience if needed.
