Sweet Corn Tomato Galette Recipes

Steps:

• To prepare the filling/topping:.
• melt butter on a hot pan.
• add sweet corn and thyme; carmelize and set aside.
• slice heirloom tomatoes (use various sizes and colors and shapes for a distinct look).
• To make the galette dough:.
• combine flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper into a food processor; pulse until combined.
• then add cold, cubed butter, cold water, and egg yolk; pulse again.
• remove and form into a a ball; cover with plastic wrap, and chill for one hour.
• To assemble:.
• toss some flour on the surface, place down chilled dough and then pound and roll out until it's the size of a medium pizza (approx 12 1/2").
• scoop down ricotta cheese and spread; leaving approx 2" border.
• top with the carmelized sweet corn.
• and then top with slices of heirloom tomatoes, sprinkle more sweet corn and thyme.
• fold dough.
• brush on egg wash around the edges.
• bake 375F for 45mins.
• garnish with fresh thyme.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange tomatoes, cut-sides up, on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet; season with kosher salt. Roast until tomatoes shrink and collapse slightly, about 1 hour. Let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, pulse 1 3/4 cups flour, sugar, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor until combined. Add cubed butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and 1/2 cup Gruyère; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Drizzle 3 tablespoons ice-cold water evenly over mixture; pulse until it holds together when pressed between your fingers. (Dough should not be wet or sticky; if too dry, pulse in more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Add garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon flour; cook until nutty and golden, about 2 minutes more. Add milk, return to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add remaining 3/4 cup Gruyère and mustard; whisk until smooth. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• On a lightly floured sheet of parchment, roll out dough to a 14-inch round. Spread cheese sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Scatter half of corn evenly over sauce, then scatter zucchini evenly over corn. Top with roasted tomatoes, cut-sides up, and sprinkle with remaining corn. Season with flaky salt and pepper. Fold edges of dough up over vegetables, then brush dough with beaten egg. Transfer galette on parchment to a baking sheet.
• Bake until crust is golden brown and set on bottom, and vegetables are tender and golden brown in places, 1 hour, 10 minutes to 1 hour, 20 minutes (if crust is browning too quickly, tent with foil). Transfer on parchment to a wire rack. Let cool until warm but no longer hot (about 30 minutes), or completely, before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• For the pastry: Whisk-stir the flour and salt in a large bowl. Sprinkle bits of the butter over the dough and, using a pastry blender or your fingertips, work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal, with the biggest pieces of butter the size of tiny peas. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt or sour cream, lemon juice and about 1/4 cup water and add this to the butter-flour mixture. With your fingertips or a wooden spoon, mix in the liquid until large lumps form. Pat the lumps into a ball. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour, or up to 2 days.
• For the filling: Get down the saute pan with the lid. If you don't have one, any large lid will do. Add the olive oil, tomatoes, salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if that's your thing) to your saute pan, then cover and heat over high heat. Roll the tomatoes around from time to time so that they'll cook evenly. In a few minutes, you'll hear some putts and pops as the tomatoes burst a little. When most have, remove the lid, turn the heat down to medium and add the zucchini chunks. Saute until they soften, about 2 minutes. Add the corn and cook 1 minute. Add the scallions, just stirring them in, then turn off the heat. Adjust the seasonings if needed. Transfer the mixture to a large plate and spread it out so that it will cool faster. (You want it cooled to at least lukewarm before assembling the galette.)
• Assemble the galette: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• On a floured counter, roll the dough out into a 12-inch round (it really doesn't need to be perfectly shaped). Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet; I like to fold my dough gently, without creasing, in quarters, then unfold it onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tomato-zucchini-corn mixture with half of the Parmesan and spoon the mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. If any liquid has puddled in the plate, try to leave it there as you spoon. Sprinkle with almost all of the remaining Parmesan, leaving a pinch or two behind for the crust. Fold the border over the filling, pleating the edge to make it fit. The center will be open. Brush the crust with the egg yolk glaze. Sprinkle the glaze with the last pinches of Parmesan.
• Bake until puffed and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes, then slide the galette onto a serving plate.

Steps:

• Make the Cheddar crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the flour and salt until well combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. There will be visible pieces of butter, but they should be quite small. (You can also do this in a medium bowl with your fingers or a pastry cutter.) Add the shredded cheese and pulse to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, make a well in the center of the bowl and pour in the ice water. Toss the mixture with your hands to distribute the water throughout the flour. Once the mixture becomes very fine crumbs, knead it a few times until it comes together. If there are portions of the dough that are more hydrated, use your hands to break them up, then incorporate the drier portions of the dough. The dough should not be totally smooth, or overly wet. If needed, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together easily in a ball.
• Form the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days.
• Make the filling: Heat the oven to 400 degrees with racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. On a baking sheet, combine the tomatoes, melted butter and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the top rack of the oven and roast until the tomatoes have become wrinkly, the skins have browned slightly and they've collapsed, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely. (You can complete this step in advance and refrigerate for up to 5 days.)
• When the tomatoes have cooled completely, gently transfer them to a medium bowl. If they've released a lot of liquid, drain the tomatoes in a colander before placing in the bowl. Stir the corn kernels and scallions into the tomatoes; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface and using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into a round about 1/4-inch thick and about 17 inches wide. Roll up the dough onto the rolling pin, wrapping it around the pin, and gently transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet; unroll. (It will be larger than the baking sheet in the some places; just allow the excess to drape over the edge of the pan.)
• Gently transfer the cooled tomato and corn mixture to the center of the dough and spread into an even layer, leaving the outside 2 inches uncovered. Working a little bit at a time, fold the outside edges over the filling, pleating the edges as you work.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water together to combine. Brush the egg wash around the outside edge of the crust.
• Transfer the pie to the lower rack of the oven and bake until the crust is deeply golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve directly on the baking sheet, or use the parchment paper to slide it onto a cutting board, then slide the parchment away to slice and serve. Serve warm or at room temperature, and garnish with basil just before serving.
