What is a Gluten-Free Crostata?

A crostata is a classic Italian baked pie or tart filled with savory or fresh fruit fillings. The recipe resembles a North American pie, but it doesn’t require a baking dish, and this is a gluten-free version.

The dough can be rolled into a rectangle or a circle, then filled with fruits or veggies, with the edges partially folded over the filling. It’s much easier to make than a traditional pie, and the rustic look is part of its charm.

Why I Love Making Crostata

I enjoy making crostata because it’s simple to assemble. Just roll out the dough, scatter the filling, and fold the edges to keep everything intact. This technique results in a crispy crust, creating an open-faced pie that is both beautiful and delicious.

Filling Ingredients

In this recipe, I prepared a filling of sautéed leeks, potatoes, and feta cheese. The addition of feta enhances the flavor and adds a touch of saltiness to this savory dish. The filling is lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, allowing the ingredients to shine.

Savory Filling Ideas for Gluten-Free Crostata

  1. Spinach and Ricotta
    Sauté fresh spinach with garlic, then mix with creamy ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of nutmeg. This filling is rich and perfect for those who love a classic combination.
  2. Mushroom and Gruyère
    Sauté a mix of mushrooms with thyme and shallots, then combine with shredded Gruyère cheese. This earthy filling adds depth and richness.
  3. Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese
    Blend roasted red peppers with creamy goat cheese and fresh basil. This filling offers a sweet and tangy taste that’s always loved.

Perfect for Any Occasion

This gluten-free leek and potato crostata can transform a simple brunch into a special occasion event. The best part? You can customize the filling to your liking!
