Ingredients
  

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup butter cold
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 5-6 tablespoons water

For the filling:

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 small zucchini sliced thinly
  • 1 small eggplant sliced thinly

For the egg wash:

  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

  • Slice zucchini and eggplant and lay out on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for half an hour.
  • Meanwhile, add flour and salt to food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add water and pulse. Turn out onto a floured surface and form into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Add ricotta, egg, thyme, basil, cumin, salt and pepper into a small bowl and mix to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 425F. Remove dough from fridge and roll out on a floured surface to a circle with a 12" diameter. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Spread ricotta mixture into the center of the crust, leaving about 2 inches space from the edge. You will need this to fold over the crust in the last step.
  • Blot vegetables to absorb water and lay out on top of ricotta mixture.
  • Fold over the edges of the galette and brush with egg wash. Bake for about 35 minutes or until the crust has turned a nice golden brown colour.
