Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup salted butter (cold)
- 1/2 cup water (cold)
- Half teaspoon salt
- 9 oz Gorgonzola cheese (or a soft cheese of your choice)
- 2 zucchinis
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 eggplant
- 1 sprig basil
- salt
- pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1 egg (for brushing)
- 1 clove garlic
- 4 tablespoons grated Grana Padano
Tools
- Pastry cutter 4 inches in diameter
- Bowl
- Rolling pin
Steps
Place the all-purpose flour in a bowl, add the cold butter cut into pieces, salt, and gradually the ice-cold water. Quickly knead with your hands until you form a compact ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
Wash the bell pepper, cut it in half, remove seeds and white filaments, and cut into pieces. Trim the zucchinis and cut them into cubes, remove the stem from the eggplant and cut it into cubes as well. Place the vegetables in a pan with a drizzle of oil, the unpeeled garlic clove, and cook over high heat until they are tender but crisp. Season with salt, pepper, and torn basil leaves.
Take the dough from the refrigerator and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out with the rolling pin to form a rectangle 1/8 inch thick.
With the help of the pastry cutter, cut out 8 discs with a diameter of 4 inches
Place pieces of Gorgonzola or a soft cheese of your choice in the center of each disc
Place the freshly prepared vegetables on top of the cheese and sprinkle with the grated Grana Padano. Fold the edges of each galette inwards and brush the edges with the beaten egg.
Bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for about 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
