Once upon a time, I did NOT like tomatoes.  Then we went on a trip to France and Italy where my husband had caprese salad with beautiful tomatoes, creamy mozzarella and fresh basil at every. single. meal.  It looked so good!  I tried it and absolutely loved it!  In fact, I ate so many one day, I made myself sick!  This Heirloom Tomato Gallette is a great summer dish and tastes like those first caprese salads many years ago.

We had some amazing tomatoes from the local farmers stand close to my parents home last week.  I had a fresh tomato every day for lunch and that made me think I needed to share this recipe with you again!

Heirloom tomatoes are some of my favorite because they have different flavors and the colors are gorgeous.  This is just as good cold or reheated as it is right out of the oven.  It would be fabulous grilled on a Green Egg, too!

I used the gluten free crust recipe from the Apple and Berry Galettes.  I’ll be making a peach version soon!  You can make several batches of the recipe and keep them in the refrigerator for several weeks.  They also freeze well.

The Garlic Flavored Olive Oil is one of My Favorite Five Oils from Trader Joe’s.   I need to do another What I Buy at Trader Joe’s post soon!
