Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 5 tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dry thyme
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 3 tablespoons panko or breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 egg, beaten

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F.
  • Slice the tomatoes to 0.5cm/1/4 in. thickness and set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp grated Parmesan with the thyme and mustard powder.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lay your puff pastry.
  • Spread 2 tbsp panko or breadcrumbs, leaving about 4cm/11/2 in. of the border uncovered.
  • Sprinkle the Parmesan/mustard/thyme evenly mix on top.
  • Starting at the centre, place the tomato slices in circles overlapping each other.
  • Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs and Parmesan on top, season with a little pepper if you like, and carefully fold the leftover dough over the tomatoes.
  • Brush the galette with the beaten egg and bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the dough is cooked through and golden brown.
  • Allow the galette to cool down slightly before decorating with fresh basil leaves, and serve. Roger Mooking suggests serving with creme fraiche, but I'm partial to a nice side salad.
