Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Pastry:
    • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour (chilled in the freezer for 30 minutes)
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 8 tablespoons butter (cold unsalted, cut into pieces and chilled again; 1 stick)
    • ¼ cup sour cream
    • 2 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh)
    • ¼ cup ice water
  • For the Filling:
    • 1 large zucchini (or 2 smaller ones, sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds)
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced, roasted, fresh works as well)
    • ½ cup ricotta cheese
    • ½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
    • ¼ cup mozzarella cheese
    • 1 teaspoon basil (dried)
    • 1 egg yolk (for brushing)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add chilled butter, using a pastry cutter or fork, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a small bowl, whisk sour cream, lemon juice, and ice water. Add to flour mixture, stirring until dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add zucchini slices and cook until just tender. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • In a bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, and basil.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Spread the cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange zucchini on top.
  • Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed. Brush edges with egg yolk.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh basil over the galette before serving.
  • Can be served warm or at room temperature.
