Notes
Variations:
- If you don't have homegrown cherry tomatoes, you can easily substitute with whatever tomato you can find at the grocery store!
- We like thyme but feel free to use another herb such as oregano.
- You can use dried herbs, but you will need to scale the amount back by at least half.
- Store-bought pie dough can be used in place of the homemade.
- These galettes taste just as good at room temperature as they do hot!
- You don't need a food processor to make this recipe. Just make sure to use a fork or a pastry blender to cut up the cream cheese and butter into the flour. The food processor just makes things easier.
- You may need to low-broil for a few minutes to get even coloring.
- This recipe can also be used to make one large galette! Baking time may vary, but it should take about 40 minutes for one large galette rather than three small ones.
- These galettes are vegetarian.
