It looks soooo gooood!! And ooh I happen to have peaches in the house!! Off to another BBQ tomorrow... guess what I'll be bring??? LOL!
That looks so yummy Mom. Now you made me hungry, thanks alot! lol :)
I have done a similar thing with apples. I've been buying peaches and now I know what I am going to do with some. It probably doesn't have as many calories as a regular pie...not having two crusts. I like the addition of the marmalade.Your pictures are great!

I don't make the prettiest crust in the world, but it is delicious! Let me know if you make it.
Racquel
This is a very easy dessert to do, you could use ready-made crust and get the same effect :)
Balisha
Anytime I use fruit I consider it a "healthy" dessert :)
I have seen a few galettes around the blogosphere lately, one more yummy than the next. Yours looks so pretty, I love the peach and blueberry pattern.
Yeah! I see the galette! And it is indeed yummy looking. You know I'm a sucker for fresh peaches, and fruit pies are my favorite desserts. However, I'm afraid of pie crust, so I never make home made pies.
The galette is so rustic, though. Perhaps even I could manage its crust. (Yes, I understand the irony. How could someone like me who has been making baklava, spankopita, and other fillo-based dishes all my life be afraid of pie crust? But it's true!)
I love the addition of orange marmalade too. I think that's a perfect combo.

Thank you, and thanks for visiting my blog.

LOL .. I, who have never attempted baklava is giggling just a little. As I told Lucy, I have never mastered the "pretty" crusts, but mine are tasty :) Thanks for the compliments.
Linda, forgive my ignorance. Do you add any liquid to the pie crust or is the egg sufficient?
Just the egg Sue .. "if" it seems too dry, you could add a Tbsp. of water or two, but I did not. I like this crust so much, I could eat it alone :)
Oh, look at that! That crust looks so good and sugary! Your fruit pattern is so pretty, too. I love marmalade and I can almost taste it looking at the picture. YUM!
YUM YUM YUM...I love galettes & yours is beautiful! Very nice indeed. I made one a few days ago with peaches & plums! I love this rustic French pastry! Yours is truly beautiful!
Paula
I love marmalade too :) The crust does make this dish.
PB
Thank you. It was all the galettes I have been seeing that made me want one, my guys gobbled them up:)
That peach galette looks really good. I like the berries in the middle.

mmm...that just screams rustic and delicious!
(and by the way, some of the comments aren't appearing on my blog either--very frustrating!)
My favorite desserts are rustic and this sure fits the bill. The fact that it is made with peaches makes it that much better. Lucky you for having coolish weather.
Darius the peaches are really good this year, and thank you :)
Grace, thank you .. I think the gremlin gobbler is eating random blog comments :)
Kim thank you ... it is more Fall-like than the dog days of August up here, which makes me happy because then I can bake :)
Mom - seriously good eats. I can't think of anything more inviting than something with peaches this time of year. Just the smell of them off the trees makes me swoon.
Giz

Too late, my guys inhaled them :)
Apple galettes are my favorite! I love making them because "it's a pie without all the hassle". :-) Have never made a peach one, but may have to now!
Darn girl! You can really make people drool :D
Kathy .. that is why I like them too, I don't have to worry about that perfect looking crust.
