-
1 zucchini
-
2 tbsp ricotta
-
1 tbsp fresh green pesto
-
1 egg yolk
-
2 tsp sesame seeds
-

Pepper & Salt
1. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds. Place them in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with pepper, salt, and lemon zeste and thyme.
2. Roll out the puff pastry and prick holes in the center with a fork so it doesn’t puff up too much while baking.
3. Mix the ricotta and pesto together until smooth. Spread the ricotta-pesto mixture over the pastry, leaving about 3–4 cm (1–1.5 inches) around the edges.
4. Arrange the zucchini slices in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping them. Fold the edges inward over the zucchini. Brush the edges with egg yolk and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
5. Bake the galette in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Finish with honey, burrata, and crispy chili oil.
