It’s the middle of Summer and tomatoes are a plenty! I got my hands on a WHOLE LOT of home grown tomatoes from family less than a week ago so I decided to use them up in a lot of ways this week. Now, one of my favorite things to do with tomatoes is to make a tomato pie, but today I decided to go a little fancy with this Tomato Galette!

I started this Tomato Galette off with a basic pie crust, it’s one that I had stashed away in the freezer. Then I layered on some herbed goat cheese and caramelized some shallots to go over that. Then it was the tomatoes; my big beefy juicy tomatoes.

Once it’s all baked up, I topped it off with some fresh basil and called it done and delicious! The honey adds some sweetness to the acid of the tomatoes and the richness that comes along with the goat cheese. This Tomato Galette would be excellent served with a side salad to round it out as a complete meal, but I just ate it all on it’s own.

As a side note, you can leave the sliced tomatoes in the colander for a good hour and then pat them dry before using in the galette; this will keep there from being too much moisture in the galette when it’s cooked.

Set the pie dough out on the baking sheet.
Top the pie dough with the 3.5 Oz. Goat Cheese, leaving about a 2″ border along the edges.
Drizzle a heavy serving of honey over goat cheese, then evenly top with caramelized shallots.
