June 6, 2022

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I imagine that you are like me, looking for easy recipes in the summer. Easy and delicious recipes that fully exploit of what summer has to offer. Such a recipe is today. Delicious and easy tart with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RECIPE

Hearing the word tart logically will you think that is something difficult to make. And yet, this particular tart recipe is not at all difficult as we are talking about a galette tart. Galette is easy to make, as the dough does not require special skills to make or roll it. While no special utensils are required for its preparation, a parchment paper is enough to unfold in front of you gorgeous aromas and flavors. Do you want something other than a recipe?

As for its filling, even if it is a simple case. My inspiration for this recipe was a highly enjoyable and summer salad, caprese salad. So what you will need is mozzarella, fresh cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and a little tomato sauce.

HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT GALETTE

Galette can be easy to make but like any recipe it has its secrets. So if you decide to make it then keep in mind the following:

  1. Temperature: The butter and the water must be cold. The water can be kept cold by adding some ice cubes. But what about the butter? Simple: Once sliced into small cubes, put it back in the fridge. 
  2. Moisture: Moisture is very important for the mixture. We must be very careful about the amount of water. Most recipes calls a range of cold water tablespoons. So add one tablespoon at the time and be careful not to add more than needed.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

So if you want to taste this delicious and very easy tart, then all you have to do is get the following:

  • All purpose flour 
  • Strained yogurt, butter and fresh mozzarella
  • Cherry tomatoes and fresh basil
  • Tomato sauce

For serving, I sprinkled my galette with dried oregano and coarse salt.

CAN I USE TOMATOES?

Personally, I really like the cherry tomatoes, and their sweet flavor. However, of course feel free if you want to use hole tomatoes. As long as you wash them well, cut them into slices. Let them drain for a while so that they do not have a lot of liquid. Then follow the recipe as it is, and spread it on the top of the tart, over the mozzarella.
