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
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough into four circles. Transfer the circles to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- Brush the edges of the galettes with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake the galettes for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve the galettes warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
