Super Easy Tomatoes and Cheese Galette


Hey everyone! What's on the menu?:) I usually don't like to cook on a weekend, but for example, ordered food is more like a guilty pleasure for me. That's why I decided to share a very easy recipe of a tomato and cheese galette (pie/quiche/tart) that I sometimes bake on Sunday morning. 

It's delicious, simple, fresh and good enough to defeat hunger. You will only need one hour to make this tasty pie, and then simply enjoy it, while wasting your time on a weekend:)

Here are the ingredients:

350 g of flour
2 tbsp ice-cold water
salt
50 g of butter
3-4 big tomatoes or 1/2 kg cherry tomatoes
350 g cottage cheese (you can use any kind of your favorite cheese) 
100 g parmesan  (or another one you like better)
2 tablespoons sour cream 
1 egg yolk
basil leaves (optional)


The whole process takes:

1 hour



Baking Time:

40 minutes



Hard?

No


1. First, prepare a dough. For me, this version of the dough is very versatile: when there is no time to play with yeast or keep the dough in the refrigerator, this option is just perfect for sweet or salty pies.

So, mix flour with butter or margarine in a bowl, add salt to taste. Stir well with our hands until the crumbs are formed. Next - add water. Mix well and if necessary add more flour. You just need o make the dough homogenous, don't mix it too long. The dough should not stick to the hands. 
When it's ready, just turn the dough into a food film and place it in the freezer at the time of preparation of the filling.


2. Then, slice tomatoes, mix homemade cheese with sour cream and grated parmesan. Add a bit of salt if necessary.

3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

4. Extract the dough from the freezer. Take a baking paper and roll out the dough in the form of a circle with a thickness of about 0,5 cm.  Put the cheese first, leaving the edges free for 4-5 cm (you will wrap it up in the end), then - add tomatoes.

5. And finally, wrap the edges to the middle, transfer the paper with the pie onto the broth. Then oil the top of the pie with an egg yolk and place in the oven at an average level for 40 minutes.

That's it!

Eat, enjoy, watch good movies:)
