What Kind of Vegetables Work Best in a Galette?

The best vegetables for a Mediterranean galette are ones that roast well and have vibrant flavors. Zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, and red onions all shine in this dish.

Ingredients for the Mediterranean Vegetable Galette

The flaky pastry crust is the backbone of this galette. It’s buttery and crisp, providing the perfect base for the colorful filling.

Zucchini brings a soft, mild texture that pairs beautifully with the herbs. Bell peppers add sweetness and a pop of color. Eggplant gives the dish a rich, hearty element that soaks up flavors. Red onions provide a slight sharpness to balance the sweetness of the other vegetables. Cherry tomatoes burst with juiciness and brighten every bite. Crumbled feta cheese gives a creamy, salty contrast that ties everything together. Fresh basil and oregano add a fragrant Mediterranean touch, making the dish feel vibrant and herbaceous.

How To Make the Mediterranean Vegetable Galette

Step 1: Make and Chill the Dough

Prepare a simple pastry dough by cutting cold butter into flour and salt, then mixing with ice water just until it comes together. Shape it into a disc, wrap it in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables

Slice the zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper and a sprinkle of oregano. Roast in the oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes to soften and reduce moisture.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a large circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Assemble the Galette

Arrange the roasted vegetables in the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border. Sprinkle crumbled feta and fresh basil over the vegetables. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go.

Step 5: Bake

Brush the crust with an egg wash and bake at 400°F for about 35–40 minutes, until golden and crisp. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Serving and Storing This Mediterranean Vegetable Galette

This Mediterranean Vegetable Galette serves 4 to 6 people as a main course or up to 8 as a side or appetizer. Serve it warm for the best flaky texture, but it’s also delicious at room temperature, making it ideal for picnics or potlucks. To store leftovers, wrap them tightly in foil or an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to bring back the crust’s crispness.
