Print Recipe

A rustic and easy summer dessert featuring smoky grilled peaches, a flaky buttery crust, a drizzle of thyme honey, and a dollop of whipped vanilla cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • 4–5 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced about 1/2 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or seeds from 1 vanilla bean
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons thyme honey (or regular honey infused with fresh thyme)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces. Slowly add ice water, mixing gently until dough starts to come together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the peaches: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Toss peach slices with brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Grill the peaches: Place peach slices cut side down on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until char marks develop and peaches soften slightly. Remove and let cool briefly.
  4. Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the galette: Arrange grilled peach slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges of dough up and over peaches, pleating to create a rustic edge. Brush crust with milk or egg wash for a golden finish.
  6. Bake: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes until crust is golden and peach juices bubble. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly.
  7. Make the vanilla cream: Whip cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Chill until serving.
  8. Drizzle and serve: Let galette cool 10-15 minutes. Drizzle thyme honey over warm peaches and serve with a dollop of vanilla cream.

Notes

If peaches are very juicy, sprinkle extra cornstarch before folding dough to prevent soggy crust. Use cold butter for flaky crust. Chill cream and bowl before whipping to avoid turning cream into butter. Grill peaches just before assembling to keep them warm but not mushy. Store leftovers covered in fridge up to 2 days and reheat gently.
