What happens when leek meets red onion and they dance with goat cheese and heirloom tomatoes? Spicy, Sweet, tangy, creamy deliciousness, and this Crostata of course!

Talk about a perfect light and filling summer dish. The leeks melt into the red onions and the goat cheese layers so perfectly on top with its creamy texture and tanginess. The heirloom tomatoes add the perfect amount of acid and sweetness. Calabiran chili does the job of spicing it up!

We paired this crostata with a spinach salad with red onions, pineapple, cashews, and hot honey walnuts.

This is a fast and super easy dish to make and extremely satisfying!

A crostata is interchangeable with a galette. The difference being crostata is Italian in origin and galette is French in origin. They both mean a sweet, free-form, open-faced pie.
