Recipe

This Grilled Peach Galette combines the sweetness of ripe peaches with the smoky flavor of the grill, all wrapped in a flaky, buttery crust. Perfect for summer gatherings, it’s an easy dessert that’s both rustic and elegant.

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3-4 tablespoons ice water
4 ripe peaches, sliced
2 tablespoons sugar (for peaches)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Toss peach slices with sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Grill peaches for 1-2 minutes per side until slightly caramelized. Set aside.
Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle on parchment paper. Arrange grilled peaches in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges over the peaches.
Brush the crust with egg wash. Transfer the galette (with parchment) to the grill. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden and peaches are bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes:

Verify the grill is not too hot to avoid burning the crust.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.

What To Serve With It

I love pairing my grilled peach galette with a revitalizing iced tea or a crisp white wine to balance its sweetness. For sides, a simple arugula salad with a tangy vinaigrette or a scoop of vanilla ice cream works wonders. These combinations make the dessert feel like a complete, satisfying treat.

Complementary Beverages

How can you make a grilled peach galette even better? I love pairing it with drinks that highlight its sweet, smoky flavors. For wine pairings, I go with a crisp riesling or a fruity rosé—both balance the dessert’s richness perfectly. If you’re into cocktails, try a seasonal option like a peach spritz or a bourbon smash with fresh herbs. These drinks feel light and invigorating, especially in summer. My personal favorite? A simple sparkling wine with a twist of peach—it’s festive and complements the galette without overpowering it. Trust me, the right drink takes it to another level!

Side Dish Ideas

While the grilled peach galette shines as the star of the table, it’s even better when paired with the right side dishes. I love balancing its sweetness with creative sides like a tangy arugula salad or creamy burrata drizzled with honey. Seasonal fruits, like berries or sliced plums, add freshness and color. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is classic, but try a dollop of whipped mascarpone for something richer. If you’re feeling adventurous, a sprinkle of toasted nuts adds crunch. These pairings keep every bite exciting, turning a simple dessert into a memorable meal. Trust me, your guests will notice!
