This tomato goat cheese galette is a beautiful and tasty appetizer, side dish, or brunch recipe! Its easy to make, but its rustic look makes it unique.
Grate the cold butter and freeze at least 10 minutes.
Combine flour, salt, and sugar. Whisk in butter until flour mixture well coats butter pieces.
Add cold water a little at a time, combining well, until a dough forms. Shape dough into patty (like a large hamburger), wrap in plastic, and refrigerate 45 minutes.
Pour 3 Tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet. Heat oil over low heat and then add onions. Toss well to coat.
Cook onions over low heat 30-45 minutes, stirring frequently. If onions start to dry out, add water.
Remove onions from heat when caramelized.
Preheat oven to 375.
Remove dough from refrigerator. On a floured parchment paper, roll dough out until consistently ⅛th-inch thick. Transfer parchment paper and dough to baking sheet.
Leaving a 3-inch space around the edge, top dough with crumbled goat cheese, basil, black pepper, and onions.
Top with sliced tomatoes. Drizzle tomatoes with olive oil and salt & pepper.
Gently fold edges over the sides of the tomatoes.
Brush exposed crust with egg.
Bake 1 hour, or until tomatoes begin to char and crust turns golden brown.
Notes
Feel free to modify the herbs and add more vegetables if you wish. This recipe would be fantastic with a sprinkle of goat cheese and a few sliced kalamata olives to give it a Mediterranean flair!
