• Arrange the cheese slices over the surface of the tart, leaving a 2-inch margin around the edges.
• If more juices have formed around the tomatoes, drain them again.
• Set the tomatoes on top of the cheese in concentric circles that overlap slightly. (Basically, make it look pretty.).

TOMATO GALETTE

Steps:

• Tip the tomatoes into a colander set over a large bowl, sprinkle over 1 tsp salt and set aside for 1 hr to draw out the moisture. Meanwhile, make the pastry. Tip the flour, butter and a good pinch of salt into a food processor and blitz to a fine breadcrumb-like consistency. Beat the eggs in a jug, then tip into the processor and pulse to a soft dough - if it seems dry, add ½ tsp cold water at a time until it comes together. Shape into a disc, then wrap and chill for 20 mins.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the tomatoes into a large bowl with the cheese, garlic, herbs and a good grinding of black pepper. Gently combine using your hands and set aside.
• Roll the chilled pastry out on a lightly floured surface to a roughly 30cm circle. Pile the tomato mixture into the middle, leaving a roughly 5cm border around the edge. Brush the exposed pastry border with some beaten egg, then fold the border up so it slightly overlaps the tomato filling. It doesn't need to be even or neat.
• Brush the pastry with more beaten egg, then bake for 40-50 mins until the pastry is golden and the tomatoes have softened and are tender.

POTATO GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C or 180C fan forced.
• Brush a 20cm springform pan with melted and then combine the remaining butter and garlic in a small bowl.
• Peel potatoes and slice as thin as possible (would suggest a mandolin or food processor).
• Make a layer of potatoes in the base of the pan, overlapping slightly and brush with some garlic butter and season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Repeat layers, brushing each with garlic butter and seasoning with the salt and pepper every couple of layers.
• When you have made the final layer, press down to compact the potato, before giving a final brush of butter.
• Stand pan on a baking tray, cover with foil and bake for 1 hour, uncover pan and cook for a further 30 minutes or until potato is tender and the top is a golden brown.
• Run a knife around the inside of the pan and release the sides and cut into wedges to serve.

FRESH TOMATO AND SQUASH GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Allow the dough to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place sliced tomatoes in a single layer on a paper towel-lined plate, and place zucchini and yellow squash slices on plates as well, also in a single layer. Sprinkle vegetables lightly with salt, about 1/4 teaspoon for each vegetable. Allow to stand for 20 minutes.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, until all the flour is incorporated into the butter, about 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon herbes de Provence, black pepper, and any remaining salt. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
• Continue to cook and stir until mixture has thickened and bubbles break open (some cooks call this stage "making bullseyes"), 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 of the shredded Gruyere. Allow sauce to cool slightly.
• If using purchased pie dough, open the pouch and place dough onto the prepared sheet pan. Slowly unroll the dough, pinching together to close any tears. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the dough.
• Blot tomatoes and squash with paper towels.
• Ladle sauce over the dough, leaving about a 1 1/2-inch border without sauce. Starting on the outside edge of the sauce, alternate slices of yellow squash, onion, zucchini, and tomato, repeating until all the sauce is covered by the vegetables. Sprinkle remaining herbes de Provence over the vegetables, and gently fold the crust over the outside edge of the vegetables.
• Brush beaten egg onto the folded pie dough.
• Place galette in preheated oven and bake until the crust is brown and the vegetables are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top of the warm galette and bake until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 more minutes.
