I’m in love with this dessert. Absolutely in love. I’m a total sucker for any type of pastry dessert, or any recipe with alcohol in it. Add the two together and I’m in heaven.
This was the last of the peach themed recipes I wanted to try. I had already made Southern Peach Cobbler and Bacon Wrapped Chicken and Peach Kabobs. I couldn’t even pick a favorite of the 3 if I tried.
But you must try this recipe – and quickly, before peaches go out of season for another year!

Grilled Peach Galettes
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches or nectarines
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 oz brandy or Grand Marnier
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 397g pkg puff pastry
- 1 tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Cut peaches in half and remove the pits. Combine orange juice, sugar, brandy and vanilla. Add peaches to mixture and let marinate for a couple of hours (or overnight).
- Roll pastry out to 1/4" thickness and cut into 3" rounds. Dock pastry with a fork and brush both sides with butter.
- Clean and oil grill. Grill rounds of pastry over moderate heat. Flip when first side is golden brown and has formed a nice crust. Don't worry if the edges burn a little, that's all part of the flavor. Set aside.
- Remove peaches from the marinade and set aside. Pour the marinade into a small pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thick and syrupy.
- Meanwhile, grill peaches, cut side down, until caramelized and soft. Arrange each half on a round of pastry and drizzle with sauce.
