Cherry Tomato Ricotta And Olive Galettes Recipes

CHERRY TOMATO AND CHEESE GALETTE

Steps:

• Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and frozen butter in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add vinegar and ice water and pulse again until mixture comes together in clumps, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Wrap dough up in plastic wrap and shape into a disc. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 hour.
• Combine goat cheese, egg yolk, kosher salt, pepper, cayenne, and basil in a bowl. Mix using a spatula until smooth and soft.
• Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and sprinkle top with flour. Roll out into 1/8-inch-thick circle, about 13 inches in diameter. Roll dough over the rolling pin and transfer onto a 12-inch pizza pan; refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and Dijon mustard together in a bowl.
• Drop spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto the dough and spread evenly, leaving about 1 1/2-inch space on the sides. Place tomato mixture on top of cheese using a slotted spoon. Fold excess dough up and over tomatoes, creating a pleat every 3 inches or so by gently pressing and folding.
• Combine beaten egg and water in a small bowl; brush over crust. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over galette.
• Place a foil-lined pan on the rack under galette to catch any possible drips. Bake in the preheated oven until well browned on bottom and top, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining olive oil and sea salt. Serve room temperature or chilled.

CHERRY TOMATO, RICOTTA, AND OLIVE GALETTES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl stir together olive paste and basil. In another bowl stir together ricotta, Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread olive mixture evenly onto galette rounds and spread cheese mixture over it. Cover cheese mixture with tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Bake galettes on a baking sheet in middle of oven about 15 minutes. Transfer galettes to a rack and cool. Serve galettes, cut into wedges, at room temperature.
• In a bowl whisk together milk, butter, yolks, and whole egg. In another bowl whisk together flour, salt, and chives and stir into milk mixture until just combined.
• On a lightly floured surface with floured hands knead dough about 8 times, or until just smooth. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Divide dough into 4 pieces. On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out each piece into an 8-inch round. Transfer rounds to 2 baking sheets and crimp edges decoratively. Chill dough 10 minutes and bake in middle and lower thirds of oven about 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer galettes to racks and cool completely. Galettes may be made 1 day ahead and kept in a sealable plastic bag at room temperature. This recipe makes 4 galette rounds.
