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.
Press together on plastic wrap into a disc, wrap and chill about an hour.
  • 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.
Fold the edge up and over, pleating every three inches or so.
  • 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.
