Recipe Box, Zucchini & Corn Galette
This crazy good galette,
a galette is a free form pie,
is full of summer zucchini and corn
This is a short version of my Zucchini, Garlic & Gruyere Galette
Not only did I get a late start on supper,
I didn’t have a head of garlic to roast,
so I devised a shortcut for caramelized onions and roasted garlic
You can quickly caramelize onions
by cooking and stirring them over medium high heat
in butter and olive oil with a pinch of sugar
You have to keep a close eye on them,
because the sugar accelerates the caramelization,
and they need a fairly constant stirring
Once they turn golden, reduce heat to medium,
toss in minced garlic and cook and stir for another minute
Your house will smell amazing!
Place these dreamy onions on the center of a pie crust dough round,
leaving a generous 1 inch border
Add the corn and 1/2 of the cheese
Now top with the zucchini and remaining cheese
Fold up the edge, making pleats in the dough as you go around the circle
Bake until golden and melty and enjoy!
Zucchini & Corn Galette
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1/2 large sweet onion
- 2 ears corn, cooked
- 1 tsp minced garlic I use refrigerated minced garlic in a jar
- 3 oz Gruyere cheese, grated substitute swiss, fontina, Gouda or Manchego if desired
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- salt & pepper
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 pie crust dough round
Instructions
- Wash zucchini and slice into 1/4" slices
- Place zucchini slices on paper towels and sprinkle with salt
- Let sit for 15 minutes, then turn over and salt the other side
- Cut kernels off of corn cobs
- Saute onion in butter and olive oil over medium high heat, sprinkle with a pinch of sugar, watching carefully and stirring often
- When zucchini begins to turn golden, add garlic, reduce heat to medium and continue to cook and stir for 1 minute, then set aside
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place pie dough round on paper
- Place caramelized onions and garlic in an even layer on the center of the dough leaving a 1 inch border
- Top onions with corn and 1/2 of grated cheese
- Season with black pepper if desired
- Pat zucchini slices dry but don't worry about rinsing off the salt, that will season the galette
- Place zucchini slices on top of corn and top with remaining cheese
- Fold dough edges up and over filling, making pleats in the dough as you move around the galette
- Can be refrigerated at this point before baking
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until dough is cooked and golden
- Let galette sit for 5-10 minutes before cutting into wedges to serve
- This serves 4 for a main dish or 6-8 as a side dish
