- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1/2 recipe Pate Brisee (page 224)
- 1 1/2 cups dry white wine
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 5 ounces dried peach slices
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1/2 cup fresh goat cheese, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- On a large piece of lightly floured parchment paper, roll out dough to a 17-by-10-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Trim dough to a 15-by-8-inch rectangle.
- Transfer to a baking sheet, and fold dough onto itself to make a 1-inch border, keeping corners square.
- Chill dough until firm, about 30 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine wine, 1 1/2 cups water, and the sugar.
- Bring to a simmer, and remove from heat.
- Add peaches to the hot liquid; cover, and let stand until liquid cools to room temperature, 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F.
- Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon heavy cream.
- Brush border of chilled shell with egg wash. Prick the bottom of the dough all over with a fork.
- Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the crust is golden brown around the edges, about 20 minutes.
- Cool completely on a wire rack.
- The tart shell can be made 1 day in advance and kept, wrapped in plastic, at room temperature.
- Drain peaches, reserving soaking liquid.
- Cut the peaches diagonally into paper-thin strips.
- Puree the ends with 1/4 cup reserved soaking liquid in a food processor until smooth.
- Transfer 3 tablespoons to a medium bowl, and add goat cheese, remaining 1/4 cup cream, honey, lemon zest, thyme, and salt.
- Stir to combine, and spread evenly over the cooled tart shell.
- Arrange peach strips in a single layer on top of the goat cheese.
- Lightly brush the peaches with the reserved soaking liquid.
- Bake, rotating halfway through, until peaches just begin to lose their sheen, 10 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Galette can be kept in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 1 day.
- Garnish with thyme leaves just before serving.
