Summer Squash Galette
Ingredients
- Zucchini - 1 medium sized
- Yellow Summer Squash - 1 medium sized
- Puff Pastry - 1 sheet
- Ricotta - 3/4 cup
- Parmesan - 1/2 cup
- Shredded Mozarella - 1/4 cup, or Italian Blend
- salt and pepper - to taste
- Dried Oregano - 1/2 teaspoon
- Onion and Garlic Powder - 1/2 teaspoon
- Dill - 1/4 teaspoon
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 1 teaspoon
- Egg - 1, beaten
Instructions
Wash squash and zucchini, pat dry, slice into thin slices and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Meanwhile, roll the puff pastry dough out a little. Transfer dough onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick foil.
For the filling, in a medium bowl whisk together ricotta, parmesan, mozzarella, salt, pepper, oregano and the onion and garlic powder. Using a spatula, spread over dough, leaving a 1 inch border. Top with zucchini and squash rounds. Drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with the dill. Gently fold over pastry edge, pleating as necessary.
In a small bowl whisk the egg and lightly brush pastry edges which will make them turn beautiful golden color. Transfer galette to the oven. Bake 20-25 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Slice into wedges, pizza like. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Quick and elegant summer appetizer. It’s also very light. I love to make it for a crowd or along with a spinach dip for some lazy sunday afternoon snacking. Sometimes, I make a couple of “snackers” in lieu of a full dinner to eat while lounging and watching TV. This one is perfect. Light and quick.
