• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup soft goat cheese
• ¼ cup sorrel, chopped
• 4 garlic scapes, diced fine
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 2 cups Bothwell Old Cheddar, shredded

• 1 Tbsp. butter
• 1 Ailsa Craig Spanish onion, thinly sliced
• 2 Red Tropeana onions, thinly sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pie crust (pre-made or from scratch), unbaked

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Slice tomatoes, then layer in a deep dish.  Salt each layer well.  Set aside while making the rest of the filling.
3. In a mixer, beat cream cheese and goat cheese until creamy.  
4. Add garlic scapes, sorrel and basil.  Mix well. 
5. Fold in cheddar andMuenster.  Beat for 1 minute on medium speed.  Set aside.
6. In a cast iron skillet, melt butter and sauté onions until caramelized (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and place onions in a separate bowl.
7. Drain any excess water from tomatoes.  
8. Roll out the pie crust until it is large enough to drape over the sides of the cast iron skillet.
9. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the bottom of the pie crust then layer tomatoes on top of the cheese mixture.
10. Drop the other half of the cheese mixture over the tomatoes by the spoonful.
11. Spread caramelized onions over the entire surface.
12. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
13. Cool galette for at least 30 minutes before serving.  This allows time for the juices to set.
