Italian Eggplant Tomato Galette

Recipe Description

In this scrumptious Italian Eggplant Tomato Galette recipe, the roasted summer eggplants are layered with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella cheese for a delicious bite, all nestled into a flaky puff pastry. To top things off, garnish with fresh basil leaves. Add a few grinds of black pepper and serve with a salad for lunch or a light dinner.

August is one of my favorite times to bake this savory galette because the recipe takes full advantage of beautiful seasonal produce, like eggplants and tomatoes. Besides, this recipe is easy to make. First, the eggplant is seasoned with a flavorful garlic and olive oil mixture and then roasted in the oven. Remember to cool the eggplant to room temperature before assembling the galette. Next, layer the center of the puff pastry with eggplants, shredded mozzarella, and tomatoes. Fold in the edges and brush with egg wash. I also like to sprinkle the extra Italian seasoning and salt over the top of the galette for a finishing touch. Finally, bake in the oven until the crust is golden brown and enjoy! You can’t go wrong with this summer vegetable galette.
