Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3 to 5 tablespoons (45-75ml) ice water
  • 4 large fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (or thawed frozen peach slices)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (mild wildflower honey recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or 1 vanilla bean scraped)
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling on crust edges)

Instructions

  1. Make the Galette Dough (15-20 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and work into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces. Slowly add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Honey Roasted Peaches (15 minutes): Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss sliced peaches with honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Spread peaches on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. Make the Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Filling (5-7 minutes): Beat softened cream cheese with heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste until smooth and fluffy. Chill until ready to use.
  4. Assemble the Galette (10 minutes): Roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread cream cheese filling over center, leaving a 2-inch border. Spoon honey roasted peaches evenly over cream cheese. Fold edges of dough over peaches, pleating to create rustic border.
  5. Finish and Bake (35-40 minutes): Brush dough edges with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and peaches are bubbly. Check at 30 minutes to avoid burning.
  6. Cool and Serve (15 minutes): Let galette cool on baking sheet for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with extra vanilla bean cream cheese or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a flaky crust. Avoid overmixing dough to prevent toughness. Roast peaches with honey to concentrate sweetness. Use egg wash and coarse sugar for a golden, sparkling crust. Check oven at 30 minutes to avoid burning. Dough can be made ahead and chilled or frozen. For gluten-free, substitute with 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, use vegan butter, cream cheese alternatives, and coconut cream.
