These savory goat cheese & veggie galettes gave me all the feels🤩🤩With a few pro tips you can make these beauties too! Make a basic all-butter pie dough and divide it into 3 pieces. Let chill while preparing your filling. Thinly slice plum or campari tomatoes, place them in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with evoo, salt, pepper & Italian seasoning and roast at 425 until beginning to caramelize. Meanwhile, use a mandolin to slice zucchini and simmer squash into rounds (even thickness = even cooking), then toss your squash with sea salt and let it sit. After about 15 minutes you’ll see that a bunch of water has come out of the squash. Drain the water and squeeze the squash with paper towels to extract the rest (this is called disgorging and ensures your crust stays crispy without having to first roast your squash and then having it be overcooked). Toss squash with olive oil, pepper & fresh thyme. Roll out your dough into 3 rounds, then place each dough round onto a piece of parchment paper (which makes transferring it to your baking sheet way easier). Crumble goat cheese in the center of the dough, leaving a 2” border. Lightly season with salt, pepper & a drizzle of evoo. Layer on your squash & tomatoes, generously covering all of the goat cheese, then fold the edges of the dough up over your filling. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. You want cold butter to hit a hot oven...the water in the butter creates steam which creates a flaky crust. Right before they’re ready for the oven, brush dough with milk or cream, and cover the whole galette with a thin layer of parmesan cheese. Bake at 425 for 30-40 minutes until deeply golden brown and flaky. If it’s getting too dark in spots, lower to 375 and bake a bit longer✨ #chef #cheflife #cooklikeapro #cooking #baking #summerfood #dinner #dinnerideas #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #feedfeed @thefeedfeed @food52 #food52grams #foodphotography #food #privatechef #mostlyhealthychef

Current dinner crush, and the best part is there is no cooking involved!! @traderjoes steamed lentils, Persian cucumber, sheep milk feta, avocado, mint, basil, lemon juice, evoo, @bulletproof.labs MCT oil, salt, pepper & a sprinkle of aleppo pepper. Also love this with roasted zucchini instead of the cukes...but on these hot summer nights, not turning on an oven is💯 #dinner #dinnerideas #dinner_time ##salad #saladrecipe #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #chef #cheflife #privatechef #lunch #lunchbox #healthyfood #health #healthyrecipes #wellness #iin #iinhealthcoach #cleaneating #cleanplates #eatyourveggies #mostlyhealthychef
