Description

A rustic savory galette filled with creamy ricotta, tender zucchini, and fresh herbs, all wrapped in a flaky, golden-brown crust. Perfect for brunch, dinner, or a light lunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (7 oz) pie crust

  • All-purpose flour (for rolling)

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

  • 2 eggs (divided use)

  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1¾ tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 large zucchini, thinly sliced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

  • Roll out crust to a 10-inch circle on a floured surface.

  • Mix ricotta, 1 egg, dill, garlic, and ¾ tsp pepper. Spread on crust, leaving a 2-inch border.

  • Toss zucchini with olive oil, salt, and remaining pepper. Arrange on top of ricotta.

  • Fold crust edges over filling. Beat remaining egg with water and brush over crust.

  • Sprinkle Parmesan on top.

  • Bake 35–40 minutes until golden. Cool 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Drain ricotta for 15–20 minutes before using to avoid sogginess.
  • Zucchini should be sliced evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
