This week on pandagrub we are going to be making a savory tomato galette.
The panda in the picture above is named Hua Mei. Hua Mei is sitting with the ingredients for the tomato galette. The ingredients for the tomato galette are three regular tomatoes, one heirloom tomato, fresh basil, puff pastry sheets, and ricotta cheese.
First cut each tomato in four to six slices.
After slicing the tomatoes place in a large bowl. Then drizzle with olive oil and season with oregano,salt, and pepper.
Now get out your defrosted puff pastry sheets. Gently place your tomato mixture in the center of the dough and fold up the excess dough. Then brush the excess dough and exposed dough with egg wash. Now the tomato galette is ready to go into the oven at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.
After you take the galette out of the oven cool for 15 minutes. While the galette is cooling cut up some of the fresh basil.
Sprinkle the basil on top of the galette and serve. Hua Mei is very excited to eat the galette.
For the final touch, add a scoop of fresh ricotta cheese. The cheese adds a creamy texture to the crispy crust and the fresh tang of the tomatoes.
WOW that last picture looks so yummy! I love the way the puff pastry looks so crispy and the ricotta cheese looks so creamy almost like ice cream. You really are getting better and better with your photos! And I have never made a galette before I will have to try this recipe!
