Summer Squash Tomato Onion Galette
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 247kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups sliced sweet onion about 1 large onion
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 zucchini sliced thin with mandolin or spiralized
- 1 yellow squash sliced thin with mandolin or spiralized
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 10 cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- In a large skillet over low heat, melt butter with olive oil.
- Add sliced onion and cook about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. When it begins to brown nicely it is done.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place circle of refrigerated pie dough on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper to line a cookie sheet or pizza stone
- In a small bowl, mix ricotta, lemon zest and ¼ teaspoon salt together.
- Spread evenly over pie dough making sure to leave about a 2” border. This will be the crust that is turned over the mixture prior to baking.
- Take the slices of zucchini and yellow squash and place on filling, overlapping in circles starting from the outside and working in. I made my pattern alternate between the zucchini and yellow squash.
- Sprinkle with thyme leaves, black pepper, and remaining salt.
- Take caramelized onions and smooth over top of squash.
- Add halved tomatoes over the onions.
- Fold the 2” edge of dough over some of the filling. It will only cover a small portion.
- Brush the crust with a mixture of the beaten egg with about a teaspoon of water.
- Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until squash is soft and crust has browned.
Notes
Frequently asked questions
How do I prevent a soggy bottom? In this galette, I used a layer of flavored ricotta cheese. This helps keep the water released from the vegetables away from the crust. In sweeter versions I've used jam or crushed cookies or cake crumbs. What can I use besides squash for a savory filling? There are so many you can choose from ranging from tomatoes to spinach and artichoke to goat cheese and mushrooms. As to a main meal, think beef and peppers, ham and cheese, prosciutto and kale and even sweet potato with broccoli and bacon to name a few.Nutrition
