Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, diced

3-4 tablespoons cold water

2 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced

1 cup fresh corn kernels (or 1 can of corn, drained)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Add the cold diced butter and, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    Add Water: Gradually mix in the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while the dough is chilling.

        Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced tomatoes, corn kernels, mozzarella cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to combine.

          Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

            Assemble the Galette: Place the tomato and corn filling in the center of the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating it as you go to create a rustic look.

              Egg Wash: Brush the exposed crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden color as it bakes.

                Bake: Place the galette in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the galette to cool for about 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.

                    Enjoy your delicious Rustic Tomato Corn Galette as a perfect appetizer or light main course!
