Description
A crisp puff pastry cradle holds a vibrant mix of roasted cherry tomatoes and tangy goat cheese, finished with fragrant basil. Each pastry is brushed golden and sprinkled with Parmesan for a warm, burst-of-flavor snack.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams goat cheese crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into four 12 cm squares.
- In a bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Arrange the pastry squares on the prepared baking sheet and spoon goat cheese into the center of each.
- Divide the tomato mixture evenly among the squares, placing it on top of the goat cheese.
- Fold the edges of each pastry square up and over the filling, leaving the center exposed.
- Brush the folded edges with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle grated parmesan over the borders.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
- Sprinkle the chopped basil over the galettes and serve warm.
Notes
- Can substitute goat cheese with feta or mozzarella for variation
- Make dough in advance or use store-bought to save time
- For extra flavor add a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving
- Galettes can be customized with herbs like thyme or oregano
