How to make Galettes Bretonnes Complètes
- Prepare the crêpe batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 250g of buckwheat flour, 1 large egg, 500ml of cold water, and 1/2 tsp of salt until smooth and no lumps remain. The batter should be quite liquid.
- Melt 2 tbsp of unsalted butter and whisk it into the crêpe batter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
- Heat a non-stick crêpe pan or skillet (about 10-12 inches in diameter) over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the pan with a small amount of butter or oil for the first crêpe.
- Pour approximately 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the hot pan, immediately tilting and rotating the pan to spread the batter thinly and evenly over the entire surface.
- Cook the crêpe for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to crisp and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crêpe using a thin spatula.
- Immediately place one slice of ham in the center of the cooked side, sprinkle about 30g of grated Gruyère cheese over the ham, and gently crack one large egg on top of the cheese and ham.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny (or to your desired doneness). Season with black pepper to taste.
- Once the egg is cooked, fold the four sides of the crêpe inwards to form a square, leaving the egg yolk exposed in the center. Carefully slide the finished galette onto a serving plate.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter and ingredients, lightly greasing the pan between each galette if necessary. Serve immediately, while still warm.
