Description

This is a delish way to use up some of that surplus zucchini we had in the garden. I’ve made this as a dinner with a side salad, it’s also great for breakfast, and it’s a rave at parties. Allow time though because you must chill the crust. I make the crust the day before and assemble the galette the following day.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE PASTRY:
  • 1-¼ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 8 Tablespoons Cold Unsalted Butter, Cut Into Pieces And Chilled Again
  • ¼ cups Sour Cream
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • ¼ cups Ice Water
  • _____
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1 whole Large Zucchini (or Two Small), Sliced
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Plus 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced (about 1 Teaspoon)
  • ½ cups Ricotta Cheese
  • ½ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • ¼ cups Shredded Mozzarella
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon Slivered Basil Leaves
  • _____
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1 whole Egg Yolk Beaten With
  • 1 teaspoon Water

Preparation

Make dough:
Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl. Sprinkle bits of butter over flour mixture and using a pastry blender, cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse meal, with the biggest pieces of butter the size of tiny peas.

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lemon juice and water and add this to the butter-flour mixture.
With your fingertips or a wooden spoon, mix in the liquid in until large lumps form. Pat the lumps into a ball; do not overwork the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Make filling:
Spread the zucchini slices out over several layers of paper towels. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and let drain for 30 minutes; gently blot the tops of the zucchini dry with paper towels before using. Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil and the garlic together; set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, and 1 teaspoon of the garlicky olive oil together and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare galette:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

On a floured work surface, roll the dough out into a 12-inch round. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet (though if you line it with parchment paper, it will be easier to transfer it to a plate later). Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the bottom of the galette dough, leaving a 2-inch border.

Shingle the zucchini slices attractively on top of the ricotta in concentric circles, starting at the outside edge.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of the garlic and olive oil mixture evenly over the zucchini. Fold the border over the filling, pleating the edge to make it fit. The center will be open.

Brush crust with egg yolk glaze.

Bake the galette until the cheese is puffed, the zucchini is slightly wilted and the galette is golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes.

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with basil, let stand for 5 minutes, then slide the galette onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
