This Heirloom Tomato Galette is a beautiful, health-conscious dish that captures the essence of fresh, seasonal produce.

Preparation

Add flour, butter, and salt to your Beast and pulse a few times until the mixture looks like a coarse meal.

Lightly flour your surface and knead your dough for 1-2 minutes (until no dry spots remain) and then flatten into a disk and cover with a plastic wrap.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Add your ricotta, sundried tomatoes, sundried tomato oil, salt, and pepper to your Beast and pulse until everything is well combined.
Slice your tomatoes to about 1/4 of an inch.
Add your dough to some parchment paper and roll your dough out into a large circle.
Spread about 1/4-1/3 cup of the sundried tomato ricotta to the center of the dough and then add the parmesan cheese, leaving 1-2 inches of the dough for the crust.
Bring the edges of the dough up and over the filling, and brush the crush with the egg wash and add mozzarella to the crust.
Sprinkle the galette with flaky salt.
Bake @400 for 45-55 minutes.
Allow to cool before adding the toppings.
Top with dollops of pesto, chives, basil, and evoo.
