This galette, which is just another name for a simple, free-form pie, is also as pretty to look at as it is easy to make.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Place tomatoes cut-side down on paper towel-lined plate, and let drain 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon of the basil, the thyme, salt and garlic powder.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Lay the tomatoes out on a paper towel and sprinkle with a few pinches kosher salt so that some moisture drains out of them.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment and place the round of pie dough on top (if using homemade dough, roll it out into a round that is 11- to 12-inches in diameter).
- Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash, then sprinkle with the mozzarella, garlic and fresh basil. Top with the tomatoes. Fold over the edges and pleat. Brush the outside edges with the egg wash and sprinkle with flaky salt and pepper.
- Bake the galette until the edges are golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Finish with more basil and enjoy!

Steps:
- Tip the tomatoes into a colander set over a large bowl, sprinkle over 1 tsp salt and set aside for 1 hr to draw out the moisture. Meanwhile, make the pastry. Tip the flour, butter and a good pinch of salt into a food processor and blitz to a fine breadcrumb-like consistency. Beat the eggs in a jug, then tip into the processor and pulse to a soft dough - if it seems dry, add ½ tsp cold water at a time until it comes together. Shape into a disc, then wrap and chill for 20 mins.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the tomatoes into a large bowl with the cheese, garlic, herbs and a good grinding of black pepper. Gently combine using your hands and set aside.
- Roll the chilled pastry out on a lightly floured surface to a roughly 30cm circle. Pile the tomato mixture into the middle, leaving a roughly 5cm border around the edge. Brush the exposed pastry border with some beaten egg, then fold the border up so it slightly overlaps the tomato filling. It doesn't need to be even or neat.
- Brush the pastry with more beaten egg, then bake for 40-50 mins until the pastry is golden and the tomatoes have softened and are tender.
