In the summer months, it’s practically a cardinal sin to turn on the oven. And while I normally don’t like being too hot in any capacity, I also really love anything in a pie crust, and those kinds of recipes necessitate an oven.

This recipe requires the oven and takes a bit of time, which I think makes it great for a weekend brunch vs a weeknight dinner. It’s great with a salad to make it a heartier meal, or great on it’s own for a next day quick lunch.

As we’ve discussed a few times in this newsletter, I am a freezer gal. Trader Joe’s pastry shells happen to come in packs of two, so I would highly suggest making two galettes and saving some for those nights when you definitely don’t want to turn on the oven.

Here’s what else you’ve missed from Tomato Week: A recipe for Panzanella with Halloumi and some easy ways to maximize another classic combo: tomatoes and alliums.
