Cooking instruction summary:

Place the cold cubed butter in the freezer to keep it nice and chilly while you assemble the other ingredients. Place flour, sugar, and salt into the bowl of a food processor (you can also do this by hand, but I love using the food processor because it goes much more quickly). Remove cubed butter from the freezer and place it in the food processor with the flour mixture. Pulse a few times until butter has been incorporated into the flour and forms a coarse mixture. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between each addition. Continue adding water 1 Tbsp. at a time until dough begins to come together but is not sticky. You may not need all of the water. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and lightly knead to bring it all together. Wrap in plastic and place in the fridge to chill while you prep the rest of the ingredients. In a small bowl, season goat cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Set aside. In another small bowl, combine garlic, basil, and olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Give the oil mixture a stir and set aside. Remove crust from fridge and roll it out in a circular shape to about 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface. Transfer dough to a baking sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat (you could also use parchment paper or a plain, greased sheet pan). Spread goad cheese over dough, leaving about 1 inch of dough uncovered on all sides. Top goat cheese with sliced cherry tomatoes. I tried to be fancy and lay them out nice circular lines, all color-coordinated-like, but that got old really quickly so I ended up just piling the rest of my tomatoes in the center of the goat cheese and spreading them out in a semi-even layer. It's supposed to be "rustic," you know, so just go with your instincts. Just make sure the goat cheese is covered in tomatoes and you'll be set.Brush tomatoes with the garlic, basil, and olive oil mixture. You may not need it all - just be sure to brush a generous layer over all of the tomatoes. Fold the edge of the crust up and over the tomatoes. It's doesn't have to be pretty - just pull the crust up over the edge of the filling and press it down so it holds its shape. In a small bowl, beat egg with a splash of water (1 teaspoon should do it) to make an egg wash. Brush egg wash over the crust only - you don't need it on the tomatoes. Sprinkle a generous pinch of salt over the entire galette. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes, until crust is a light golden brown. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing, then slice, top with extra fresh basil, and serve immediately.
