My worlds just collided. I found out about you via an interview you had w Dr. Oster. From this tomato pie post, I realized that I grew up the street from your uncle who supplied the tomatoes. I love your recipes. Thank you for sharing them!

I was running out of cheddar cheese today when I was making this recipe (for the 3rd time this month!!) and so I added some garlic and herb Boursin cheese… It was fabulous! Highly recommend trying it :-)

Any substitutions for mayo? Also - what would be the best gluten free tweak here?

Yes for both -- check the original recipe :)

Hi! Would this recipe also work with sliced cherry tomatoes? I have a gazillion of those, but none of my larger tomatoes have ripened yet... (How? It's mid-September!)

Expand full comment

Yes!! I made a cherry guy the other day. So good.

Been dreaming about making this since the second I saw this and finally had time to today and OMG so good!!! Used prepackaged pie crust and thank god it came in a two pack because already planning on making it again this week

Made this at a lake weekend with friends... wives decided “eff it, we’re making it” even though 2 of the 3 husbands there “hate tomatoes”. Both loved it and had a second slice! So, so good and so easy to make the crust (I was hesitant to do this at a less-equipped vacation home, but it was so simple)! Thank you!!

Hahaha. Best review ever. F those guys.

This was delicious! I subbed mozzarella for the cheddar because that's what I had on hand. Turned out great!

LOVED this. For shortcuts, I didn't plan ahead enough to get premade pie crust 😅 but I decided to try it with a roll of Crescent Roll dough I found in my fridge and it was delightful! Lowered baking time to 375/temp on the package, and baked it for less time (~30min?) til the crust got toasty! Also probably used fewer ingredients bc the rolled out dough wasn't as large but it worked out perfectly for 3-4 servings with a protein side 👍 thank you!!! Will try with pie crust next time!

Can’t wait to make a batch of these galettes for a burst of summer goodness in the winter. It freezes beautifully & my tomato plants will re emerge in a few weeks for one last harvest before frost.

Okay so absolutely everything that could go wrong went wrong (not at all with the recipe, with me being 🤪 and our house being a thousand degrees) but it still tasted so, so good. My husband, who is the pickiest eater, said “well babe, I was expecting to hate that but it was pretty good.” So basically he loved it.

I want to try riffing on it, keeping everything the same, but adding caramelized onions.

This was my first WTC recipe and I can’t wait to make it approx 200 more times. 💛💛

Hahaha. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall!!! Yes caramelized onions on the bottom!!! YUMMMM.

Can I make this in a cast iron skillet instead of on a sheet pan like you do in your blueberry cheesecake galette?

Expand full comment

Yes ma'am! Probably a few minutes (5-10) less cook time since cast iron conducts heat so well. Check in on it earlier!

Expand full comment

Amazing. Making it tonight. Can’t wait! Been waiting all week to get some incredible farmers market tomatoes to be able to make this and today was the day! I’ll let ya know how it goes in the cast iron.

Hey Caroline! This looks amazing. Was going to make it for a dinner party. Can I make the dough earlier in the day and keep it in the fridge until I’m ready to roll it out? Thank you!!

Expand full comment

Yes absolutely! I recommend going ahead and rolling it out on your baking sheet and then just covering it tightly with plastic wrap right there on the baking sheet then let it sit out for like 10 minutes so that the edges don't break when you fold them over the tomatoes. This is actually the "proper" way to make a pie crust but I found that it just didn't matter so I cut out the rest time

This was ridiculously good. An unfussy way to make one of my favorite seasonal dishes.

I don't know if I've ever made a recipe the same day I read it, but I did with this! I made a bigger crust and doubled the filling, and subbed ricotta for mayo. OMG, I cook a ton but this was maybe the best thing I've made this summer, just perfect. Thank you!

Expand full comment

I felt the same way -- it's just the most perfect bite of summer!!!!! So glad you love as much as I do <3

I love galettes! You can get so creative! I make on with thinly sliced beets and sweet potatoes, along with goat and parm cheese. I will often make a whole wheat crust. I am absolutely making your recipe!
