The Whole Wheat Savory Galette with Tomatoes and Feta is an easy, quick, light recipe with a Mediterranean flavor! A very special savory pie because we make the shortcrust pastry using whole wheat flour for a rustic-tasting pie, and Greek yogurt instead of butter and oil. This way we get a light and tasty tart. The filling has the colors and flavors typical of Mediterranean cuisine: tomatoes symbol of summer, black olives, basil and feta.
The preparation is very easy: we mix flour, yogurt, water, and salt and let the obtained dough rest for 1 hour. We roll it out with a rolling pin and fill it with sliced tomatoes, diced feta, basil, oil, and salt. Fold the edges inward, brush them with oil, and bake for about 30 minutes at 356°F.
