Author Notes

We're drowning in summer squash over here! Over the past few weeks, I've cooked it in a number of iterations, but wanted to try my hand at a galette. This recipe is almost all from Smitten Kitchen's Zucchini and Ricotta Galette, but I've changed the squash and added hazelnuts. —TaraT

  9. Roll dough into 12 inch circle and place on an ungreased cookies sheet.
  10. Spread cheese mixture evenly over dough, leaving a two inch border. Cover with the squash slices, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and sprinkle with the chopped hazelnuts. Fold edge of dough up, pinching together to make it look pretty.
  11. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the dough is puffy and golden brown. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Top with basil ribbons, slice and serve.
