Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cornmeal
- salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter
Pulse the flour, cornmeal, salt and very cold cubed butter in a food processor until it looks like coarse crumbs.
Galette: cornmeal crust
- cider vinegar
- ice water
Add a touch of cider vinegar and a big splash of ice water at once; pulse 5 or 6 times, scrape down, then pulse until it forms loose clumps that stick when pressed, stopping before a ball forms.
- ½ lb fresh goat cheese
- 1 whole egg yolk
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- cayenne
- freshly sliced basil
Mix the goat cheese, egg yolk, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne and sliced basil with a spatula until smooth.
Galette: goat cheese filling, rolling and tomatoes
- flour
Roll the dough on a floured surface to a circle about an eighth of an inch thick, about an inch bigger than a 12-inch pizza pan; roll onto the pin, transfer to the pan and chill.
- 3 cup cherry tomatoes
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon
Halve about three cups of cherry tomatoes and toss with extra virgin olive oil and a teaspoon of Dijon; do not salt yet.
Spread the cheese over the dough leaving about an inch and a half bare; add the tomatoes with a slotted spoon.
- 1 whole egg
- 2 tsp water
- parmigiano reggiano
Brush the dough with egg wash and grate over a light dusting of parmigiano reggiano.
Bake in the centre of a 425F oven about 30 minutes until well browned, top, sides and bottom.
- basil
- olive oil
- sea salt
Cool completely to room temperature or chill; garnish with basil, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
