Goat Cheese Tomato Galette
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 stick butter
- 1/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons bread crumbs
- 2 pounds tomatoes, sliced
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Using a pastry cutter or a fork, mix flour and butter until crumbly. Add cheese, salt and water and blend until the dough just starts to come together. It will still be quite sticky. Form a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about half an hour. Roll out and transfer to a pie plate.
- Brush egg yolk onto crust, sprinkle bread crumbs on top and arrange tomatoes on top of that. Leave a wide border around the outside.
- Sprinkle goat cheese on top and fold the edges of the pastry over the tomatoes.
- Bake 30-40 minutes, remove from oven, and sprinkle with olive oil and basil.
