La galette complete


To realize a galette complete, you need to have:


  • some galettes (recipe)
  • some eggs
  • some slices of cooked ham
  • some cheese (gruyere)
  • some chives

Warm a pan at middle heat, and add some butter. Once the butter covers the entire surface of the pan, add the galette. Take one egg and place the yellow part in the midle of the galette. You can also include the white, but I personally do not like it. Then top the egg and the galette with grated cheese, preferably gruyere. Add the ham and let the galette cook a little bit further, until all cheese is melted. Add the chives cut in small pieces and serve.

Galette dough recipe

The galette is a famous dish from Britanny that is typically eaten in restaurant called crêperie or in familly together with Cider. The Galette is the salty version of the pancake, that you will usually prepare with ham, cheese, onion, bacon, salmon.

Recipe for 8-10 galettes:

  • 250g of buckwheat flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 liter of water

Put the flour in a bowl, add oil, beaten eggs and salt. Whip the dough and add progressively the water. Beat vigorously for 3 minutes to obtain a smooth paste without lumps. Let the dough rest for 2 hours, covered with a rag. Then oil the pan using a kithen paper, and cook the two sides of the pancake on a hot pan.
