Instructions

Step 1
Slice tomatoes ¼ inch thick and layer on top of a cutting board. Let them rest for 10-15 minutes to release some liquid. Mince garlic and set aside.
Step 2
Place a sheet of parchment paper or silicone baking mat on a flat surface and sprinkle with flour. Working on top of the parchment paper eliminates the hassle of scooping the galette onto the pan later! (I learned this the hard way)
Step 3
Roll out pie crust into a 12" round.
Step 4
Spread pesto working from the center of your dough reaching about an inch from the edges.
Step 5
Layer tomatoes on top of the pesto and sprinkle with garlic.
Step 6
To fold the edges around the dough, first create slits evenly around the edges and carefully fold over. You should end up with pieces that overlap each other in a large circle.
Step 7
Chill for 10 minutes in the freezer.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 400°F while your galette is chilling. At this time we can also fry up the thyme we will use as garnish later. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil, coconut oil, or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry thyme for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and crisp. Set aside.
Step 9
Bake for 45-50 minutes rotating once until crust is golden brown and and tomatoes are cooked through.
Step 10
Sprinkle with fried thyme and serve!

This one is a little difficult to rate. It's not that it's bad- it tasted pretty alright, but it was kind of frustrating. Granted I'm still kind of a novice, so maybe others might have an easier time than I did. For one thing, working with a "defrosted pie crust" was a nightmare. Trying to roll it out and fold it just made it break. I ended up just throwing another pie crust on top and calling it a day. It never says where to use the salt in the instructions, and it wasn't until I was putting everything together that I realized it was meant for sweating the tomatoes, and it was far too late for that, so I had a lot of juice coming out when it was cooking. On the topic of tomatoes, while everything kind of flattened out as it cooked, I was only able to fit two of the four tomatoes in the pie crust. The ingredients say to use four, but the kinds of tomatoes they list wildly differ in size, so it's hard to tell how much they really meant. Finally, as for the thyme, trying to fry it just ended with a pan of burnt leaves. I honestly don't know why it doesn't just say to add it into the gallette itself, which I feel would be easier and less likely to burn, but what do I know. Honestly, a lot of these issues were probably due to my own inexperience, so I don't feel like I can really give it a thumbs down- it did end up tasting good, and my family said they liked it, but if I end up making it again I'll probably not bother with aesthetics at all, start with putting it a pie crust already in a pan, and adding my own tweaks to make it easier on myself. Cause I struggled this time (yes, that pie crust does say "HELP"). And after all, as long as it tastes good who cares how it looks?
