Filling
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half

  6. Spread the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 3-inch edge for folding over.
  7. Arrange the tomatoes, cut-side up, on top.
  8. Fold the edge of the dough up onto the top of the tart. Brush with the beaten egg.
  9. Place the galette in the oven and bake for 50 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
  10. Serve hot.
