Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
• 1 small yellow squash, thinly sliced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together.
3. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into four circles. Transfer the circles to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. In a small bowl, toss the zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, cherry tomatoes, goat cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Spoon the vegetable mixture onto the center of each dough circle, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed.
6. Brush the edges of the galettes with the beaten egg wash.
7. Bake the galettes for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
8. Serve the galettes warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
