Take-out Tuesday, Zucchini Galette
I do love zucchini, it is such a versatile vegetable
You can make so many different things with it~
One of my favorite things to make for side dishes are galettes
This one is full of roasted garlic,
caramelized onion and shallot, and Gruyere cheese
Galettes are sorta like pies, a less sophisticated “country cousin”
Start by caramelizing an onion, slicing and draining zucchini,
and roasting a head of garlic
Using refrigerated pie crust dough makes this galette a breeze~
Spread the dough round with the roasted garlic-
the easiest way is to use your fingers
Then top garlic with some cheese and the caramelized onions,
then a layer of zucchini
Repeat layers and fold in the crust with large pleats
Take a minute to paint the crust with an egg wash,
it will reward you with an irresistible golden, shiny result~
This is a great side dish for BBQ chicken or steak
Zucchini Garlic & Gruyere Galette
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 sweet onion, sliced
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- kosher salt
- 1 shallot

- Roast garlic at 400 degrees for 1 hour {can be done ahead of time and refrigerated}
- Lay zucchini slices out on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt
- Let zucchini sit for 15 minutes, letting the salt draw out the moisture, then flip zucchini and salt the other side
- Meanwhile caramelize the onion, cooking over medium low heat in a skillet with the butter and olive oil, stirring occasionally until soft and starting to caramelize, about 20-25 minutes
- Add shallot and cook for 5 more minutes
- Lay dough round on a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet
- Squeeze garlic, releasing the roasted garlic from it's papery shell, and spread it all over dough with the back of a spoon or with your fingers
- Sprinkle dough with 1/3 of the cheese, leaving a 1 inch border
- Top cheese with 1/2 of onion shallot mixture and 1/2 of zucchini
- Repeat layers
- Fold the border dough up and over filling, making pleats as you go around the edge
- Brush folded dough with egg wash
- Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes for 30 minutes or until golden

- Serves 4 as a main dish or 6 as a side dish

This recipe comes just in time for peak zucchini growing season. YUM!
It’s one of my favorites, thanks Bernadette!
I always love free form tarts and this looks wonderful with zucchini.
I love to make galettes, so easy
Oh Jenna I have to confess I am not a huge fan of zucchini…I know I am a minority although I have eaten sweets made with zucchini (unknown to me) so I ate and liked. But other zucchini uses ….not so much. However, I will keep this recipe as it looks so good and one day……..Hugs and Happy 4th to you and your family.
Zucchini in sweets adds moisture, it’s great for baking. I’m sorry you don’t like it Kari, and you can make a galette with just about anything, try changing up the recipe with a vegetable you like~
I just pinned it. We have some zucchini left over from last week: Perfect timing, My Friend! 😀 It really looks beautiful and delicious.
Thanks RJ, it’s one of my favorite zucchini recipe~
Jenna, this zucchini galette looks so delicious! Zucchini is a summertime favorite. Enjoy your week!!
Thanks Pam, it’s one of my favorite zucchini recipes~ Have a fabulous 4th tomorrow!
Very delicious looking!
Thanks Dorothy!
I’ve never made a zucchini galette but I see I should change that. We love summer fresh zucchini and squash and I thought I’d tried every recipe. This looks delicious Jenna. Hope you are staying cool, it’s so hot here with a heat advisory.
Thanks Emily, I hope you try this, galettes are so easy to make and so good!
What a wonderful way to eat zucchini ! Your galette looks absolutely delicious and light for a summer meal!
Thanks Judee, this is a favorite!
This looks easy and tasty — and anything with caramelized onions in it is a winner in my book!
This would be a great dish for those who find squash “uninspiring.”😉
Looks so refreshing and tasty. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Zucchini is a prolific summer vegetable, what a yummy way to enjoy it Jenna! Happy Friday ♥
