A traditional French galette is a flat, round and free- form pie or tart with a crisp crust It has either sweet or savory filling..The best part of galette is that the dough is folded around the edges exposing the filling in the center.
This rustic crust is so easy to put together and I had used canned peaches for this recipe. Make sure you drain the peaches well before adding other ingredients. It is best served warm right after it has been out of the oven, simply irresistible!
