Instructions
Step 1
Start by grating or finely chopping the cold unsalted butter. This will ensure it integrates well into the flour.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter with flour and a pinch of salt. Mix them until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Next, slowly add the cold water to the mixture and knead it gently with your hands until a smooth, light dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
Step 2
Once the dough has chilled, roll it out on parchment paper to form a thin disc.
Spread the cream cheese evenly in the center of the dough, leaving some space at the edges.
Arrange the thinly sliced zucchini on top of the cream cheese.
Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a rustic border.
Lightly drizzle some olive oil on the galette and sprinkle with a little salt.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and place the galette inside.
Bake for about 60 to 80 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove the galette from the oven and let it cool completely before serving. This will help stabilize it.
Step 4
Finally, garnish the galette with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
Serve it warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delightful zucchini galette!

Equipment
A large mixing bowl is crucial for combining your ingredients. Make sure it’s sturdy and spacious enough to allow for easy mixing without creating a mess.



This handy tool is essential for rolling out your dough to the perfect thickness. A lightweight, non-stick rolling pin will make the task easier.



Using parchment paper will prevent sticking and allow for easy transfer of your galette to the baking tray. It's a simple must-have for a smooth baking experience!



Your galette will need room to bake and crisp up beautifully. Always line your baking sheet for easy cleanup!



A grater is necessary for finely shredding the cold butter. Cold butter is key to achieving that flaky texture, so use a box grater or food processor for efficiency!


Variations
Vegan Version: Use plant-based butter and swap the cream cheese for a vegan alternative. This way, you can enjoy this delightful galette without any animal products, keeping it light and cruelty-free! 🌱🍃
Faq
- What if my dough is too crumbly?
If your dough seems overly crumbly, it likely needs a little more moisture. Add a teaspoon of cold water at a time until it comes together.
- How do I know when the galette is done baking?
The galette should be golden brown and crispy on the edges. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean!
- Can I add different vegetables to the galette?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other summer veggies like bell peppers, tomatoes, or eggplant for added flavor and color.
- How do I store leftover galette?
Store the leftover galette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven to restore its crispiness!
- What if I can’t find fresh basil?
You can use dried basil or substitute with thyme or oregano for a different flavor profile!
- Can this be made ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough and filling ahead, then assemble and bake it right before serving for maximum freshness.
