Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole wheat pie crust
  • ¾ pounds sweet onion
  • ¾ - 1 pounds tomatoes sliced into ¼ inch rounds or thin wedges.
  • ¼ cup basil leaves sliced into ribbons
  • 2 oz. goat cheese plain or with herbs
  • salt and pepper
  • egg wash 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of milk

Optional additions

  • cup pesto
  • yellow summer squash or zucchini reduce the amount of tomato and onion proportionately

Instructions
 

  • While the crust dough is chilling prepare the vegetables as noted above.
  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Quickly roll the dough into a circle working from the middle to the edges changing direction with every pass. Work the dough into an 11 inch circle (or roundish shape) it should be about ⅛ of an inch thick.
  • Transfer dough to a baking stone or parchment lined baking sheet. Pinch closed and smooth any tears if needed.
  • Leaving a 2 ½ to 3 inch margin all the way around - Layer the ingredients on top of the crust overlapping as needed: onion, sprinkle of seasoning, tomato, seasoning, goat cheese, basil ribbons.
  • Bring the crust up and around the filling pleating and pinching as needed. The filling may need to be "hugged" a little to allow more crust to come up the sides. Once all the dough has been pleated it may slouch a bit but it should stay. The cooler the dough the better it will hold its shape.
  • Brush the outside of the galette with the egg wash. - This step provides the "wow" factor to the finished pie.
  • Bake for 25 -30 minutes until filling is steamy and bubbly. Then increase the temperature to 425 for 5 - 10 additional minutes to give the pie its deep amber color.
