Ingredients

For the Filling

2 sweet peaches
6-7 strawberries
100 grams cream cheese (about 0.5 cup)
2 tablespoons sugar
a pinch of vanilla

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the **cold butter**, **all-purpose flour**, and a **pinch of salt**. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs with small pieces of butter remaining.

Next, add the **cold water** and the **egg** to the mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. Slice the **peaches** and **strawberries** into thin slices and set them aside.

Step 3

Assemble the Galette

Once the dough is chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired size. Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spread the **cream cheese** evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving a 2 cm border around the edges. Sprinkle the **sugar** and a pinch of **vanilla** over the cream cheese.

Carefully arrange the sliced **peaches** and **strawberries** over the cream cheese layer. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit to create a pleated effect.

Step 4

Final Touches and Baking

Brush the edges of the dough with the **egg yolk** for a shiny finish. Top the galette with **almond flakes** for added crunch.

Bake in a preheated oven at **180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit)** for **30 minutes**, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serve warm.

Faq

  • What if my dough is too crumbly?

    If your dough feels too crumbly, try adding a teaspoon of cold water at a time until it comes together. Make sure not to overwork the dough!

  • Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

    Yes! Just make sure to thaw and drain the excess moisture from the frozen fruit to prevent a soggy filling.

  • How do I know when the galette is done baking?

    Your galette should be golden brown on the edges, and when you gently press the fruit, it should feel soft but not mushy.

  • Can I prepare the galette in advance?

    Absolutely! You can prepare the dough a day ahead and store it in the fridge. Assemble the galette right before baking for the best texture!

  • What are the best fruits to use for filling?

    While peaches and strawberries are a classic combo, feel free to experiment with blueberries, raspberries, or even apples for a fun twist!

  • Can I use dairy alternatives in the cream cheese filling?

    Yes! Many brands offer non-dairy cream cheese that works wonderfully in this recipe.
