Ingredients

  • 1 small eggplant just under 1 pound
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 12 black olives pitted and halved
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • salt
  • 1 9 inch galette dough or, store bought pastry
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream (optional)
  • 1-2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced (or 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes)
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves about 10 -12 leaves

Instructions

  • Prep the vegetables; slice the zucchini, eggplant, into thin rounds. Brush with olive oil. Core and quarter the pepper. Grill the vegetables over medium- high heat until the zucchini and eggplant are tender and the red pepper skin is blistered. Let cool.
    Vegetables can be grilled a day ahead and the galette assembled and baked next day.
  • Peel the blistered skin from the pepper. Cut the pepper, eggplant and zucchini into bite size pieces and transfer to a bowl. Pit and halve the olives and mince the garlic. Add to the vegetable mixture. Crumble in 1/2 of the goat cheese, 2 tbsp olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine.
  • Heat grill or oven to 375 degrees F
  • Whisk the egg yolk and heavy cream (if using) in a small bowl

If Using Homemade Galette Dough

  • Lightly flour both sides of the dough and place between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Roll the dough out to a roughly 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 or lay on a baking stone; remove and discard the top sheet of parchment.

If Using Store Bought 9 inch Pastry Shell

  • Gently unfold and lay out pie crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment or on a baking stone.

To Assemble

  • Thinly slice a fresh tomato, or cut in half the cherry tomatoes.
    Leaving a 2-inch border, pour the vegetable mixture onto the dough. If using a whole tomato, place in a circular pattern on top of the mixture. If using cherry tomatoes, cut in half and tumble over the top of the mixture.
    Crumble the remaining goat cheese over the top.
  • Fold the edge of the dough up and over the filling. Brush the folded edges with the egg wash. Bake or grill, turning the baking sheet or stone 1/2 way, for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
    Top with fresh basil leaves when you are ready to serve.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature

Notes

TIP
Advance preparation:  You can make the galette pastry dough ahead of time (see details in recipe).  The vegetables for the filling can be grilled a day ahead and then assembled and baked next day.
