    Summer Squash Galettes

    Ingredients for dough:

    1/2 cup milk
    4 egg yolks
    2 whole eggs
    2 tsp. salt
    4 cups flour
    2 oz. butter, melted
    6 Tbs. chopped chives
    2 Tbs. chopped basil

    Ingredients for tart:

    2 zucchini, sliced
    2 yellow squash, sliced
    2 plum tomatoes, sliced
    2 cups fresh Parmesan and Romano cheese, combined

    Preparation:

    Whisk milk, egg yolks and whole eggs together. Melt butter and pour into the egg mixture (make sure the eggs are room temperature). Add salt, chopped chives and chopped basil and whisk together. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the liquid ingredients. Form into a ball and knead for approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Wrap in plastic and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

    Slice zucchini and yellow squash and drop quickly into boiling salted water to blanch them, for approximately 2 minutes. Slice plum tomatoes into rounds. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place on a lightly floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll a little larger than the tart pan. Roll dough onto rolling pin and transfer to tart pan, pressing dough down on the insides of the pan. Roll across the top of the tart pan with the rolling pin to cut the dough. Place in 450-degree oven for approximately 5 minutes.

    Remove tart from oven. Grate fresh Parmesan and Romano cheese together and sprinkle some on the bottom of the crust. Make a circle with the squash, tomato and zucchini rounds. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 10 minutes to melt the cheese. This dish is good served hot or cold.

    We at DIY believe all of the recipes from All in Good Taste are accurate and reliable, but since we have not tested them personally, we can claim no responsibility if the desired results are not achieved.
