Ingredients
  

Galette Dough

  • 40 grams sour cream
  • 75 grams ice cold water
  • 180 grams all-purpose flour
  • 35 grams cornmeal
  • 5 grams sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher salt
  • 100 grams unsalted butter, cold cut into 1/2 inch pieces

Galette Filling

  • 300 grams whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 40 grams pecorino cheese, grated
  • 60 grams fontina cheese, grated
  • 2 clove garlic, finely minced or grated on microplane
  • 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher salt
  • 6 large ears of corn, shucked and corn cut off the cob or 4 ½ cups frozen corn, thawed

Assembly

  • 120 grams basil pesto
  • 1 large egg, beaten with 1 Tablespoon water

Garnish

  • 20 fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  • 40 grams hot honey, I love Mike's brand.

Instructions
 

Galette Dough

  • Whisk sour cream and ice water together and set aside. Place flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt in the work bowl of a food processor, fitted with the metal blade and pulse to combine. Drop the butter pieces into the bowl and pulse 8 to 10 times, or until the mixture is speckled with pieces of butter that vary in size from breadcrumbs to peas. With the machine running, add the sour cream mixture and process just until the dough forms soft moist curds. Turn the dough out of the food processor onto the counter. Divide dough in half and shape each piece into a round disc.
  • Lightly dust one disc with flour, and roll between 2 sheets of parchment paper, into a 12-inch circle. A perfect circle is not necessary, just the approximation of that shape. Repeat with second disc. Chill dough rounds in fridge, still between their sheets of parchment paper, for about 30 minutes.
     

Make cheese filling

  • In a large mixing bow, mix together ricotta, pecorino, fontina, garlic, salt and half the corn. Reserve remaining corn kernels to put on top of cheese layer.

Assemble galette

  • Arrange racks in oven so that one is top middle and the other is bottom middle. Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove dough rounds from fridge. Peel off top sheet of each round. Flip sheet over and carefully peel off bottom sheet of parchment paper. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with some of this parchment paper. Transfer one dough round to each baking sheet.
  • Spread each circle with half the pesto, leaving a 1½ inch border from the edge. Spread each tart with cheese mixture. Sprinkle remaining corn over each tart.
     
  • Fold the uncovered border of dough up over the filling, allowing the dough to pleat as you lift it up and work your way around the galette. Brush the border of the dough with egg wash.
  • Bake in oven for 25 minutes. Switch trays so that the tart that was on the bottom rack, is now on the top rack.Bake for a further 20-25 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
     
  • Just before serving, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with hot honey.

Notes

This galette was inspired by a recipe created by tastecooking.com for Corn Galette with Ricotta and Chile Oil.  I used my favourite super-flaky cornmeal galette crust, added some pesto to boost the basil flavour and instead of making my own chile oil, I  topped mine with hot honey.
