Galettes Complètes (Buckwheat Ham, Egg, and Cheese Crepes)

30 minutes · 4 servings · omnivore

A well-known Breton buckwheat galette made in a practical stovetop version.

Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

  • 1 cup / 120 g buckwheat flour
  • 1/2 cup / 60 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups / 480 ml water
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices cooked ham
  • 1 cup / 100 g Gruyère or Emmental cheese, grated

Let’s make it

  1. Whisk both flours, water, 1 egg, and salt into a thin batter; rest 10 minutes while you prep the fillings.
  2. Heat a lightly buttered skillet over medium heat and cook 4 thin crepes, about 1 minute per side.
  3. For each crepe, place ham and cheese in the center, crack an egg on top, and fold the edges in to make a square or open pocket.
  4. Cook covered until the egg is fully set and the cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve warm.

For kids, cook the egg fully set and cut the galette into wedges.

Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
