Hi Bold Bakers! IN THIS RECIPE: My Tomato and Ricotta Galette recipe is ideal for a quick lunch or even a light dinner — and because it’s a galette, you do not need a pie tin or decorating skills. Simple savory. Already have an account? For a savory treat, there is nothing more delicious (or easy!) as a tomato and ricotta galette. It’s made with the simplest ingredients that have proven, time and time again, to be made for each other. You’ll be impressed with not only how tasty this humble galette is, but how much you actually adore it — it looks so cute all nestled up in its little crispy, flaky crust, right? The flaky pie crust holds the whole galette together. The crust is filled with herbed ricotta cheese, juicy tomatoes, olive oil, and salt. You don’t even need a pie dish, just a baking sheet! It’s refreshing and comforting all at the same time. It’s perfect for a light lunch. Pair it alongside a crispy salad and maybe an ice-cold glass of white wine!
What Is a Tomato and Ricotta Galette?
This galette is made using my pie crust recipe, and I recommend going for homemade here! Make some extra while you’re at it so you can freeze it and use it for future use. Baked into the crispy pie crust is juicy, sweet tomatoes and salty ricotta cheese — simply flavored with garlic, basil, and salt and pepper.

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips for Making Tomato Ricotta Galette
This pie crust freezes really well, so if you’re taking the time to make this galette, make a few extra servings. Wrap it well and freeze it for future use! Bring your ricotta to room temperature; it will be easier to mix. Make sure you use the best tomatoes you can find for the best flavor. Sliced Roma tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes might be the best option if you are making this out of season. You can mix ¼ cup (2oz/57g) goat cheese into the ricotta cheese mixture for added flavor. Feel free to use different herbs instead of basil – sage or thyme would also be lovely in this tart!
How Do I Store Tomato and Ricotta Galette?
