I made this quick zucchini and cheese galette for brunch the other day. We seems to be going to bed late and waking up later these days. As such, I find myself putting together heartier breakfast or brunch dishes more often than ever. This zucchini and cheese galette is tasty, takes a short time to prep and looks gorgeous when done. It’s also extremely versatile and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the summer, zucchini are in abundance. My kids and I tried to plant them once but they quickly fall prey to insects, and our brown thumbs. Lol! The ones I get from the grocery stores are always glossy, green and simply looks luscious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make this galette is fairly straight forward. There are really 3 key parts to making it. First, you will make a delicious buttery crust. Next, prepare the zucchini slices and cheese mixture, and lastly, putting them together to create the galette! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hands-on prep is fairly quick – mostly on making the galette crust. Make sure the ingredients for the crust are cold so that the dough will come together quickly. The other is slicing the zucchini into even slices. I find that using a kitchen mandoline ensures a uniform size, but since this is only one zucchini, simply using your very sharp kitchen knife should suffice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onto making the galette!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients for Quick Zucchini and Cheese Galette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I like to gather all the ingredients for the recipe before starting. Based on my past experiences, making sure you have all the items ready minimizes frustrations! Nothing is worst when you are in the middle of making a dish and realizes you are missing half a teaspoon of this or that. So, save yourself some unnecessary aggravation and prep the items so they are easily within reach as you put this, or any other recipes together! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For making the buttery Crust, you will need the following:
1\u00bd cup All Purpose Flour
\u00bd tsp salt
8 Tbs or 1 stick of unsalted butter. It should be very cold, grated or cut into small pieces
\u00bc cup Greek yogurt, or sour cream
5 Tbs water, very cold. I usually have a cup of cold iced water, with a Tablespoon measuring spoon handy to measure out what I need.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, for the galette Filling, you will need:
1 large zucchini, or 2 small zucchinis, sliced into \u00bc” thick
salt for zucchini
\u00bd cup grated parmesan cheese
\u00bd cup ricotta cheese
\u00bc cup shredded mozzarella cheese
\u00bc cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
1 egg. lightly beaten
1 tsp garlic, minced
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 Tbs olive oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, for the Finishing touches, you will need to create an egg wash with 1 large egg, beaten with 1 Tbs water
1 tsp paprika and\/or chilli powder (optional topping for additional pop of taste and color)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing the Galette Crust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Let’s start by making the crust. Whisk together flour and salt to combine. Add grated butter and work in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
