Tomato, Melted Leek, and Blue Cheese Galette

Scott Phillips

Yield:Makes one 9-1/2-inch galette

Servings:4 to 6

Peak-of-the-season tomatoes are the key to making this galette outstanding. I like to cut them in different ways—some sliced, some quartered—both for looks and texture. Delicious for lunch, it’s also a great first course for a summer dinner, if cut smaller.

Preparation

  • Put the tomatoes in a colander in the sink or over a bowl, and toss with 1-1/2 tsp. salt. Let drain for at least 45 minutes to release excess juice. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper; spread in an even layer, reduce the heat to low, and cook, covered, without stirring until the leeks begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender, 10 to 15 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. Let the dough sit at room temperature until pliable, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg and cream.
  • Roll the dough between 2 sheets of lightly floured parchment paper into a 14-inch round, loosening the parchment from the dough occasionally and adding a bit more flour if it sticks. Transfer on the parchment to a baking sheet; remove and discard the top sheet of parchment.
  • Leaving a 2-inch border, sprinkle half of the cheese, half of the leeks, half of the tomatoes, 1 tsp. of the marjoram, 1/4 tsp. of the pepper, and a generous pinch flaky sea salt over the dough. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Fold the edge of the dough up and over the filling. If the dough is sticking to the parchment, refrigerate it for 5 to 10 minutes, and then continue folding. Brush the folded dough with the egg wash. Bake, rotating the baking sheet once half-way through, until the crust is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Fabulous! I used a small red onion, sauteed, since I didn't have any leeks, as well fresh basil instead of marjoram. I will definitely make this again. There was none left even though I served it as a side with beef tenderloin for 3 people--everyone had seconds!

    只是做了这个。没有蓝奶酪混合使用of goat feta and some soft unripened goat cheese. Also used oregano instead of marjoram. Great flavor. Did a wheat and rye shortcrust for the pastry.

    How large is a medium leek? They come in all sizes. I would appreciate an approximate weight for all ingredients.
