Paraben Free Tomato & Goat Cheese Galette with Whole Wheat Crust

Rustic, golden, and bursting with the kind of summer flavor that makes you want to eat outside, this free-form tart is the kind of dish that looks like it came from a French countryside kitchen but comes together with pantry staples and fresh produce. The whole wheat crust is made entirely from flour, salt, olive oil, and ice water — nothing processed, nothing synthetic, just clean ingredients that you can actually pronounce. That matters a lot when you're navigating a paraben-free lifestyle, since preservatives and chemical additives have a way of sneaking into store-bought pastry doughs and pre-seasoned cheese products. Here, the filling is equally straightforward: softened goat cheese seasoned with fresh thyme and black pepper, layered with salted, blotted tomatoes that roast down into something jammy and deeply savory. The trick of drawing moisture out of the tomatoes before baking is what keeps the crust crisp all the way through — no soggy bottom, just a firm, nutty base with beautifully caramelized edges. A finish of torn fresh basil, a drizzle of good olive oil, and a pinch of flaky sea salt pulls everything together with zero fuss. Serve it warm or at room temperature, and don't stress about the imperfect edges — that's exactly the point.
