Happy New Year!



Last night, we all went out to a dinner/gala event for New Year's Eve. Dinner wasn't served until 9, so I made an appetizer for everyone last night before we left home. Tomato and goat cheese galette!
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Cut 2 medium tomatoes int thin slices.
  • In skillet, heat olive oil at medium heat. Saute 1 medium sweet onion for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper, remove from heat.
  • Lay 1 sheet frozen puff pastry sheet on baking sheet. Distribute onion and oil evenly on top, leaving 1-inch border all around.
  • Lay goat cheese on top of onion, sprinkle with 1 tsp fresh thyme.
  • Lay tomato slices on top of cheese, overlapping slightly and covering all of cheese. Place about 6 whole, fresh basil leaves on top of tomato.
  • Fold pastry up and over edges of tomato, crimping dough every inch or two, shaping pastry into cirlce.
  • Bake until crust is golden, about 18 minutes. Cool, cut, serve.
  • original
Good stuff. The favorite thing I've made of a few fam members. Will make again, for a party or something.
