When you think of Galettes, you usually think of a yummy sweet dessert. Something like a Chocolate Cherry Galette, I need to make that ASAP (gentle reminder to myself). But, not in this case. Introducing our Zucchini and Sausage Galette. Or as Phillip likes to call it, deep dish pizza. Sigh. But if you are in the pizza mood our Chicken Salsa Verde Pizza is WILDLY DELISH. While this may be pizza-esk, nothing beats this flaky crust a galette provides. Unlike pizza, the dough is light and the sauce is extremely creamy. Galettes are so versatile, so try this out and let us know your thoughts!


From our kitchen to yours, cheers!

Ingredients
Ricotta Filling
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 whole garlic roasted
Galette
  • 1 pie crust
  • 3 hot Italian sausages
  • 1 zucchini sliced thin
  • ¼ yellow onion sliced thin
  • 1 handful baby tomatoes sliced in half
  • 1 tbsp butter
Sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup yellow onion chopped
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 8oz can tomato sauce
Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°
Bake garlic for 30-45 minutes or until the garlic is starting to brown on the outside
While garlic is roasting, cook sausage and let cool before slicing thinly
Slice zucchini thinly, sprinkle salt over zucchini, and place in bowl with paper towels to soak up the water
Remove garlic from oven and squeeze the garlic out of the garlic shell
In small bowl combine all ricotta filling and mix well
Sprinkle some flour on the counter and roll out the pie crust till it's nice and thin
Take about ¾ of the ricotta filling and spread it out on the pie filling. Leaving about a 1 inch space between the filling and the edge of the pie crust
Layer the zucchini, onion, tomatoes, and sausage slices over the ricotta filling
Roll the crust over the filling and pinch the sides to keep it from rolling open
Melt the butter and brush it on the crust with it
Bake for 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown
While galette is baking, in a pot over medium heat add the olive oil to the pot
Once the oil is heated add the garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. Cook till fragrant
Slowly add in the tomato sauce and the chicken broth and stir
Cook over medium heat until simmering
Add in ¼ cup of ricotta filling from galette and stir quickly until smooth
Remove galette from oven and let cook 5 minutes
Drizzle sauce on top and serve
Tips
  • Make sure to salt the zucchini first and remove the excess water before adding to the pizza. If not, the zucchini will excrete that water while baking and make your galette soggy.

    Delicious! I added my own toppings since hubby doesn’t like zucchini. I did sweet onions, red pepper, sliced olives, mini pepperoni, sausage and tomato. So incredible, the sauce you top it with is incredible!!
