Perfect Brown Butter Peach Galette Recipe with Cardamom FAQs
Yes, you can prepare the galette up to a day ahead. Store it in the fridge, then bake as directed.
Overcrowding the peaches can lead to excess moisture. Avoid this by spacing them out and blotting excess moisture with a paper towel.
While you can use frozen peaches, they may release more liquid, potentially making the crust soggy. If using frozen, blot excess moisture and add a bit more flour to help absorb liquid.
Serve with a dollop of heavy cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast in temperatures and textures.
While you can try, the air fryer may not provide the even baking and browning that an oven does. For best results, stick to the oven method.
