Quality of brie cheese matters! I always recommend using a brie cheese that is French- brie cheese originated in France so if it is French you know it’s creamy, has notes of mushroom and will melt really well! When melted, the cheaper brie cheeses can often pool with oil which means they aren’t the best quality and stuffed with fillers & additives. When making baked brie, spend a little bit more on the cheese to make sure it’s a quality one.
TIP: cut your peach slices thin, I find that they fit better in the galette and taste delicious like this!

TIP: drizzle the honey on AFTER this bakes! If you bake honey it becomes very liquidy and watery. It’s always best to put on after for a garnish to keep its original form.
This is what your galette should look like before going into the oven.
You want to leave an opening in the middle for the galette and brie cheese to breathe and cook evenly while it bakes
