The summer is flying by and that makes me sad, but the summer produce is cheering me right up! I can’t get enough! I am currently obsessed with heirloom tomatoes. I love eating them with a little salt and pepper, but I also enjoy using them in recipes. I recently made an Heirloom Tomato Pesto Galette that screams summer. It is so full of flavor thanks to the heirloom tomatoes.
We make galettes for dessert all of the time. A few favorites include: Blueberry Almond Streusel Galette, Apple Toffee Galette, and Pear Galette. We rarely make savory galettes though. I don’t know why…oh, wait, it probably has something to do with my sweet tooth:)
I figured it was time to make a savory galette with the heirloom tomatoes I picked up at Whole Foods Market. They had a fantastic selection so I loaded up my basket.
I love heirloom tomatoes because there are so many varieties and each tomato is so unique. Look at those beauties!
Not only are they pretty, but they are delicious too! I used a few different varieties to make the galette. I wanted contrast in color and flavor.
The galette dough is simple to make and can be made in advance, just keep it in the fridge until you are ready to roll it out.
I sliced the heirloom tomatoes and placed them on a paper towel to remove some of their juices. I didn’t want the galette to get soggy. I spread the galette with our favorite Spinach Basil Pesto and placed the beautiful tomato slices on top! I baked until the galette was golden brown. We served the galette with a simple salad for dinner. The fresh basil pesto and heirloom tomatoes were a match made in heaven. The buttery rustic galette was the perfect base too! I don’t know why it took me so long to make a savory galette. I loved it and so did Josh and Caleb. We will be making this Heirloom Tomato Pesto Galette again!
