Honey and Nectarine Galette

This simple Honey and Nectarine Galette recipe requires only three ingredients-a perfect summertime dessert or light main course with salad.

Nectarines are Peaches

I learned something new today: nectarines are a type of peach. Crazy, right? The difference between the two is that peaches carry a gene that gives it fuzzy skin. But nectarines will sometimes grow on peach trees on an outgrowth called a bud sport. I just totally blew your mind, right? I'll let you sit with that for a minute. I know you have a lot to process right now. Paradigms have shifted and such.

When it comes to summer fruit, I always neglect the nectarine. I'm all about peaches and watermelon and cherries, and I forget that nectarines are delicious and in season too. And apparently I'm not the only one-when I went to the grocery store to get nectarines for this recipe, I had a lot of trouble finding them until I realized that instead of having their own area, they were shoved into the corner of the peach bin. Poor nectarines!

About the Recipe

Although a fruit galette makes a nice, simple summertime dessert, I'm of the opinion that they make a good lunch or dinner too. And that's exactly how we ate this Honey and Nectarine Galette-as a light dinner with a simple salad dressed with a citrus vinaigrette. The honey adds sweetness without making the galette too sweet. And without all that added sugar, the flavor of the fruit really shines through.

Oh, and yes, I used prepared pie crust dough. I have a brand that I'm happy with that uses real ingredients and it saves me quite a bit of time. You are certainly welcome to use any kind of pie crust you like and you are also welcome to feel superior to me, shake your head at me disapprovingly, or condescend to me in any other way. Because I love prepared pie crust and you will never change that fact. Never!
