For a richer flavor, consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking. Feel free to experiment with other summer vegetables such as yellow squash, bell peppers, or eggplant. To make ahead, assemble the galettes up to the baking step and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes can add a pleasant touch of heat.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSauté Aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped green onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (approximately 3 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Remove from heat and set aside.
02
StepPrepare Goat Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened goat cheese, Parmesan cheese, and cayenne pepper. Use a fork to mix until well blended and creamy.
03
StepShape the Galettes: On a lightly floured surface, gently flatten each puff pastry sheet with a rolling pin to slightly enlarge it. Cut each sheet into four equal squares. Using a sharp knife, score a border approximately 1/4 inch from the edges of each square, being careful not to cut all the way through the dough. This will create a raised edge when baked.
04
StepPreheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
05
StepAssemble Galettes: Arrange the puff pastry squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly within the scored borders of each square. Top with the sautéed onion mixture. Chill the assembled galettes in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to help prevent the pastry from shrinking during baking.
06
StepArrange Vegetables: Artistically arrange the thinly sliced zucchini and tomato slices in an overlapping pattern on top of the goat cheese and onion mixture. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Drizzle each galette with about 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
07
StepBake and Garnish: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the oven and garnish with thinly sliced fresh basil leaves before serving.
