And in a scary double up I also made the chocolate croissants and the moonblush tomatoes! Thing is, I can see why Laura did it this way, you get the frozen pastry to make the gallette, you have spare sheets so you make the chocolate croissants (and I ALWAYS have bars of 70% chocolate in my pantry, I consider it vital!)


The croissants are just a case of cutting triangles of the same pastry placing a square of chocolated in the middle and rolling up to form a crescent, have the point facing away and it will work out just fine. Then it's just a case of brushing them with a little beaten egg and baking them at 220c for 12-15 mins.
The tomatoes get sprinkled with olive oil, salt, pepper and sugar. Nigella suggest dried thyme as well, but I didn't have any so drizzled on some balsamic. I didn't read the recipe properly and I used large tomatoes, which should have been cut up smaller, so after leaving them over night and thinking they didn't look 'done' enough I put them on at 100c for another hour or so. They are just lovely.

They were all a doddle, quick and so yummy, I took the galette to a friends for dessert and served it with mascarpone. Heaven!

What can I say! Your gallette looks much nicer than mine - I sort of biffed the fruit at the pastry LOL. The sunblush tomatoes are gorgeous, aren't they - I used big ones too, just left them in for ten minutes before turning off the oven. And how great are those chocolate croissants?! Glad I was able to inspire/bully you into it LOL.
Wow! You make all this sound like a breeze! I wouldn´t mind a croissant for breakfast, and please do spare a bit of that galette too for later :)
Everything looks great!
WOW, Yummy yummy yummy!
Nectarines and blueberries are such a fantastic combination and your pictures are such good quality. I'm drooling all over my keyboard! LOL
