Summer Cottage Cheese Pesto & Heirloom Tomato Galette

This dish uses a ‘cheats' pizza base (which is lighter, healthier, and beyond crispy) and a pesto that you’ll want to keep on hand as a freezer staple after this!

Method

1.

In a blender, whip together the pesto ingredients until smooth. On a lined baking tray, lay out the puff pastry, creating a square (or preferred shape).

2.

Make a crust by folding the outer part over 1cm inwards. Brush or spray with oil. Using a fork, prick the base.

3.

Bake in a preheated 200℃ for 10-12 minutes or until golden.

4.

Spread the pesto over the surface and top with the sliced tomato. Slice and enjoy hot with extra basil on top.
