A galette is a free-form tart\u2014i.e., no pie dish or perfect crimping required\u2014and can be either sweet or savory. The format is ideal for peak-season produce, including flavor-packed heirloom tomatoes. Here, ripe slices are layered over a buttery, flaky crust with garlic, grated cheese, lemon zest, and fresh herbs, then baked until the edges are deeply golden and the tomatoes are soft and caramelized.<\/p>\n<p>The key to a great tomato galette is managing moisture. Salting and draining the tomatoes before assembling helps concentrate their flavor and ensures the crust stays crisp. Don\u2019t worry if the galette looks a little juicy when it comes out of the oven\u2014it will settle and slice cleanly as it cools.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for making a perfect tomato galette<\/h2>\n<div name=\"accordion\" class=\"AccordionWrapper-gvHLGA hNLEov\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-iLIlCF dnShlA\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-gsDmFY iQqTk\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jFRYlp zgmT\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerLabel-etvqIf drgnhO\">\n<p>What types of tomatoes are best?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"BaseButton-bcGmUs ButtonWrapper-dPMEWm dFZSjb dhutMS button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-jMXXPz cpRpLP\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-eCjeQX eTFZtz button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-fiXpuI lfFNGO opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p>Use large, firm tomatoes that are easy to slice\u2014heirloom tomatoes are ideal. Use a variety of different colors and sizes for the best flavor and appearance, but even supermarket tomatoes can shine here.

The process draws out excess moisture, concentrating the tomatoes\u2019 flavor and helping them caramelize in the oven. You can save the juices for another purpose (remember, they\u2019ll be salty). Drain the tomatoes for at least 5 minutes\u2014up to 30 minutes if they are especially juicy\u2014then blot lightly before assembling.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ContentCardEmbedWrapper-hkvhYu hFjxCa content-card-embed content-card-embed--side-by-side\" data-testid=\"ContentCardEmbedWrapper\">\n<div class=\"ContentCardEmbedImage-bqahne jHXXSL content-card-embed__image\" data-testid=\"ContentCardEmbedImage\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kFnjvc eKnjjD responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jKunQM gjCCFj responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain: Plant, Sliced, Human, Person, and Food\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.bonappetit.com\/photos\/5d31d71e2932240008cb3dd7\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Basically-Tomatoes-Salt.jpg 120w, https:\/\/assets.bonappetit.com\/photos\/5d31d71e2932240008cb3dd7\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Basically-Tomatoes-Salt.jpg 240w, https:\/\/assets.bonappetit.com\/photos\/5d31d71e2932240008cb3dd7\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Basically-Tomatoes-Salt.jpg 320w, https:\/\/assets.bonappetit.com\/photos\/5d31d71e2932240008cb3dd7\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Basically-Tomatoes-Salt.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"100vw\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bonappetit.com\/photos\/5d31d71e2932240008cb3dd7\/master\/w_775%2Cc_limit\/Basically-Tomatoes-Salt.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ContentCardEmbedInfo-buyHWH gWLOee\">\n<div class=\"BaseText-fEwdHD ContentCardEmbedHed-kDKGDs bGtVff dsoNQO content-card-embed__hed\" data-testid=\"ContentCardEmbedHed\">This Trick Makes Tomatoes Even More Tomato-y<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-iLIlCF dnShlA\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-gsDmFY iQqTk\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jFRYlp zgmT\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerLabel-etvqIf drgnhO\">\n<p>How do I keep my tomato galette from getting soggy?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"BaseButton-bcGmUs ButtonWrapper-dPMEWm dFZSjb dhutMS button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-jMXXPz cpRpLP\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-eCjeQX eTFZtz button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-fiXpuI lfFNGO opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p>In addition to draining the tomatoes, layering grated cheese <em>under<\/em> the slices creates a barrier that helps protect the crust.
