| Cheese and Tomato Galette |
One of the bonuses of blogging is that you get to meet so many new people from all over the world. I have had a fascination with Catalonia in Spain and Portugal for many reasons. Once I have saved all my "buttons" I am sure this will be my next destination of choice. A blogger that we all know from Spain is Nuria of Spanish Recipes. If you have come to know her through her blog you have appreciated her wit and her winning personality.
Nuria is holding an event this month called Blog Your Omelet. Now haters beware but I am not a big fan of eggs, but I will try them in limited ways such as egg salad, quiche and devilled eggs. I still wanted to partipate in Nuria's event so decided to create a Cheese & Tomato Galette. This recipe comes from Gale Gands new book, Gale Gand’s Brunch! You can read more about her book in my previous post here. I am unable to share the recipe with you but it was a wonderful combination of eggs, extra-sharp Cheddar, Canadian Swiss and Parmesan cheeses. The filling was very creamy and somewhat like a custard and less like a quiche that I expected. This was a winner. You just have to get a copy of this book!!!
I never tire of eggs. That looks so damn good about now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful omelette. What a great event. Thanks for always keeping us up-to-date.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing...and yes...this book is wonderful. I want to make everything in it!
ReplyDeleteGreat combo of ingredients Val...looks absolutely delicious. I need to start thinking of recipes for this event.
ReplyDeleteStunning omelette!! Thx for telling me about the event
ReplyDeleteI love eggs... This omelet looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Rosa
That looks tasty! I am loving this book too, lots of inspiring food.
ReplyDeleteBlog Your Omelet sounds like a witty comeback - Hey Buddy, Go Blog Your Omelet! - you could say that after somebody cuts you off in traffic... (!) ;-)
This looks delicious Val. Thanks for reminding me about Nuria's event.
ReplyDeleteGale has been all over the interweb this week! I swear this is the third or fourth recipe I've seen.
ReplyDeleteOh my word it looks like a quiche...with those tomatoes it's beautiful. What an omelet.
ReplyDeleteI must get a copy of this book. That omelet looks amazing. I just had lunch but I'm hungry again!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, omelete! Too bad you can't share the recipe; the photo is deliriously gorgeous. I just love eggs! That texture you describe sounds wonderful. YUM!
ReplyDeleteLooks extremely good!
ReplyDeleteI bet that tastes great.
ReplyDeleteDear Vall this look absolutely nice and delicious!! yummy! Gloria
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear people say they don't care for eggs I'm surprised....who knows why. In spite of your non affection you did this event justice.
ReplyDeleteVal, That looks outstanding, I'm going to look for that book!!
ReplyDeleteYour cheese and tomato galette is gorgeous and the crust looks perfect. Guess I'm going to have to get Gale's new Brunch book.

Good for you for finding a way to cook something you don't like very much in a way that you would enjoy it. It's a beautiful omelet and looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love omelet contests.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool event! Your omelette looks fabulous & has tempted me to enter...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Beauty!!! Your contribution is double appreciated since you are not a big fan of eggs! Really? not even fried with some chips?
ReplyDeleteAnyways, your quiche sounds, looks and nearly smells fantastic!!! Good luck with the giveaway :D, I know that lil' burn toast would be more than happy with that :D
There's an award for you on our blog
ReplyDeleteNot a huge fan of eggs? Come visit us for a long, leisurely weekend. I bet I can get you to change your mind :)
ReplyDeleteLovely galette, Val. Those tomatoes are beautiful and I bet this tastes divine! I'll have to check out Gale's book! After all, brunch is one of my favorite meals of the day!
Well I AM a big fan of eggs and yours looks fabulous! I thought it was a tomato tart at first glance. And with the cheese... YUM!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really lovely Val with all the tomato slices!
ReplyDeleteWe just had eggs for dinner tonight, but not an omelet. Our daughter likes it when I make what we call a "mess" for dinner. Fried potatoes, green pepper, onion, then on top of that you put eggs that are scrambled. YUM!!
ReplyDeletelooks great... now i'm intrigued about the recipe... :)
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking a lot about savory galettes lately, and this is a wonderful inspiration to do more than think!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, yum, nice choice of cheese to add! Luverly jubbly!
ReplyDeleteFor someone that doesnt like eggs that looks pretty darned amazing!
ReplyDeletethis post reminds me that i should start cooking more meals with eggs as a base. we often have fried eggs and boiled eggs, and sometimes cook a greek style omeltte (more like spanish frittata), but i've never been very creative with this humble ingredient
ReplyDeleteVal, I'll have your share of eggs...love'em! You've compensated here with lots of tomatoes...can't be hatin' those!
