Instructions

Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the sour cream, lemon juice, and ice water until the dough holds together.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
Toss the sliced tomatoes with garlic, kosher salt, and oregano. Let sit for 10–15 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels.
Roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle on parchment paper and transfer to a baking sheet.
Spread shredded gouda over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
Layer tomatoes and garlic over the cheese, then fold and pleat the edges of the dough over the filling.
Brush the crust with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Chill the assembled galette for 15–20 minutes.
Bake at 400°F for 25–30 minutes, until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
Cool slightly, garnish with fresh basil, and slice to serve.

Notes

Use a mix of heirloom, roma, and cherry tomatoes for variety.
Switch gouda for cheddar or asiago for a flavor twist.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes to restore crispness.
Freeze cooled galette whole or in slices for up to a month.
