HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, water, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

02

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted.

03

Pour half of the batter into the hot skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are set and lightly browned.

04

Flip the galette. Immediately place 2 slices of ham in the center, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of Gruyère cheese, and crack one egg directly over the cheese and ham.

05

Fold the sides of the galette inward to create a square shape, leaving the egg yolk exposed. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg white is set and the yolk is still runny.

06

Carefully slide the finished galette onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining butter, batter, ham, cheese, and egg for the second galette.

07

Serve immediately and enjoy your savory French Ham and Gruyère Galettes.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute Swiss cheese for Gruyère or use turkey ham instead of pork ham. A fried egg can be used in place of cooking the egg directly in the galette.
