Servings: 8 slices

Ingredients

Crust

  • 200 g AP Flour
  • ¾ tsp Salt
  • 8 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp Vodka
  • 4-5 tbsp Ice water

Filling

  • 1 md/lg Zucchini
  • 4 oz Herb goat cheese room temperature

Misc

  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tbsp Flaky sea salt
  • 1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Take your butter and cut it into about ½" pieces. Place in a small bowl and put in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  • Mix together flour and salt in a medium-large bowl.
  • Dump frozen butter into flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, cut butter into flour until it is about pea size bits.
  • Add 1 tbsp of vodka and 4 tbsp of ice water. Mix until dough comes together, adding extra tbsp of water if needed. Dough should come together but not be wet.
  • Pat dough into a 5-6" disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  • After about 3.5 hours, or about 30-45 minutes before you take your chilled dough out, slice your zucchini into ⅛ inch slices. Lay the slices in an even layer on paper towel and lightly salt.
  • Allow the zucchini to sweat for about 30 minutes. Blot with a paper towel before they go onto the galette.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • When dough has sufficiently chilled, take out and place on a floured parchment sheet. Roll dough out until about ⅛" thick. Dough should be mostly round but does not need to be perfect.
  • Slide your parchment sheet with dough onto a baking sheet.
  • Spread your goat cheese over the center of the dough, leaving a 1-2 inch border around the edges.
  • Arrange your zucchini slices over the goat cheese in whichever design is the most pleasing to you. I find rows or circular to be the easiest.
  • Take a piece of the edge and fold over, towards the center. Take the section next to it and repeat around until your galette has a crust.
  • Lightly brush the zucchini with olive oil. If you have olive oil cooking spray, this will work too. Brush the crust with beaten egg, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Bake on center rack of oven for about 45-55 minutes, until crust is golden brown and zucchini is starting to be browned.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
