Ingredients

  • 1 recipe pie crust (homemade or from the store)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons pesto
  • 1 small zucchini squash
  • 1 small yellow squash
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Egg Wash

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Stir together the cream cheese and pesto in a small bowl. Slice each squash into thin rounds.
  • Unroll your pie crust onto your cookie sheet. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the pie crust, leaving about a 1/2” border around the edges.
  • Lay your squash slices on top of the cream cheese. You can be random, or do a pattern.
  • Gently fold over the edges to form a crust. Sprinkle with a few pinches of pepper. Brush lightly with egg wash.
  • Bake for 20-24 minutes, until the crust starts to get golden brown and isn’t transparent looking. Cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

  • You can use low-fat cream cheese if you want.
  • Substitute equal parts ricotta for the cream cheese.
  • You can use all zucchini or all yellow squash if you prefer.
  • Serve with grated parmesan on top.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If using a store bought crust, be sure to get the refrigerated kind (that you can unroll flat), not a frozen pie crust.
  • Reheat galette in an air fryer to crisp up the bottom!
