30 minutes
Tomato and goat cheese galettes are a refined combination of crispy dough and delicate filling, inspired by European culinary traditions. Their homeland is France, where such open pies are valued for their simplicity of preparation and the opportunity to experiment with fillings. The thin dough, soaked in butter, becomes golden and crispy, topped with juicy tomatoes and creamy goat cheese. Basil adds freshness and lightness to the flavor, creating a harmonious blend of ingredients. Galettes are perfect as an appetizer or light dinner. They can be served warm when the cheese is slightly melted or chilled to reveal the full depth of flavors. The simplicity of preparation makes them an excellent choice for cozy home evenings as well as exquisite gastronomic experiences.
