Caprese Crostata

Caprese Crostata

This Caprese crostata is a rustic savory galette with a flaky Parmesan crust, pesto, mozzarella, and ripe tomatoes. Bursting with Italian flavor, it’s perfect as a summer appetizer or light dinner.

I love when gardens and farmers markets are overflowing with juicy, ripe tomatoes. This Caprese crostata is a twist on the classic Caprese salad turned into a rustic galette!

The tart takes full advantage of summer flavors with sweet basil, plump tomatoes, and creamy mozzarella, all nestled in a flaky, golden crust. 

Ingredients:
For the Dough
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour (140 grams total)
  • 5-8 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 pinch salt (if using unsalted butter then add ¼ teaspoon)
  • 1 tablespoon parmigiano (freshly grated)
  • 1 large egg room temperature

For the Filling
  • 1-2 tablespoons basil pesto
  • 10-11 ounces mozzarella cheese (fresh)
  • 4 medium ripe firm tomatoes (san Marzano/Roma)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2-3 pinches salt
  • 2-3 dashes black pepper
  • 5-6 fresh basil leaves
  • 1½ teaspoons oregano (divided)
