Ingredients

• 1 cup Buckwheat flour
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 Large egg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 slices Ham
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 4 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, water, milk, salt, and one egg until you have a smooth batter. Cover and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for optimal texture.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly brush it with butter.

Step 3

Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, quickly swirling it to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom browns slightly.

Step 4

Flip the galette carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, re-buttering the pan as needed.

Step 5

Once all the galettes are cooked, lower the heat to medium-low. Place one galette back in the skillet and layer 1 slice of ham and 1/4 cup of Gruyère cheese in the center.

Step 6

Crack one egg over the center of the toppings. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg white is set but the yolk remains runny. Adjust the time depending on your preferred doneness.

Step 7

Fold the edges of the galette inward to create a square, leaving the toppings visible in the middle. Carefully slide it onto a plate.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining galettes, ham, cheese, and eggs.

Step 9

Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy The Brittany with a crisp green salad or a glass of cider for an authentic Breton experience.
