What Is a Galette?
Galette is a form of how the dough is shaped and baked. Unlike a pie or a tart, the galette is rolled out and put free form on a baking sheet. Then filled with a sweet or savory filling such as tomatoes or jam with the edges gently folded in.
Can You Reheat a Tomato Galette?
Yes, you can and it will have a soft texture, if done in the microwave. You can also reheat the galette in the oven on low temperature (170F). Another great option is to add an egg on top then to cook it. That can make it a great quick and fresh breakfast.
How Do You Store a Galette?
Simply store it in the refrigerator covered with saran wrap up to 3 days. It gets soggy and hard if stays for longer.
Can I use this Galette Recipe to Make Individual Sizes?
Yes, and I thought about the same thing. It would be great to make some individual galette sizes for a group of friends coming over for brunch. I also like the idea to add a sunny-side up egg in the middle for extra protein and to dip the crust in.
Can I Make Galette Ahead of Time?
You can, but don’t bake it until ready to serve. Just like anything else, it’s better fresh out of the oven. After putting it together, before the oven, keep it in the refrigerator until ready to bake. It’s better to keep it in the refrigerator not more than 1 day, before baking it.
