Prep Time: 40 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 70 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 tomatoes, cut into thin slices
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut into thin slices
• 1 container Boursin cheese, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar, provolone, Swiss, mozzarella, feta, etc.)
• fresh chopped basil leaves
• crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 refrigerated pie crust (from a 14-ounce package), at room temperature
• 1 egg, beaten
• olive oil, for drizzling

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the cut tomato slices on paper towels. Sprinkle with a little salt and allow them to sit for about 30 minutes. This helps remove moisture from the tomatoes so you don't end up with a soggy galette. Flip them occasionally.
2. In a bowl, combine the Boursin cheese, shredded cheese, some chopped fresh basil and crushed red pepper flakes, to taste. Season with salt and pepper. 
3. Put the pie crust onto a baking sheet and roll out to make a 12-inch circle. Spread the cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
4. Pat the tomatoes one more time with new paper towels, then place them over the cheese mixture, leaving a border. Fold up the edges to create the galette. 
5. Brush the edges with the beaten egg. Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven until crust is golden, about 30 minutes. Drizzle with a little olive oil, if desired.
