About Galette Complete
Galette Complète is the Breton answer to breakfast hunger: a savory buckwheat-style crepe, filled with ham, cheese, and a whole egg that's cooked right in the crepe until the white sets and the yolk stays runny. The batter is thin and simple—flour, eggs, milk, salt—whisked to smoothness and given time to relax, which makes the crepes tender rather than tough. They cook quickly in a hot pan, just until the underside sets and takes on color, then the fillings go in the center: ham, grated Gruyère, and the raw egg cracked into the middle.
The edges fold up to make a rough square that encloses the runny yolk, and the crepe finishes cooking just long enough for the white to set while the yolk stays liquid gold. Twenty-five minutes and you have three hearty crepes that work for lunch or dinner as easily as breakfast, each one different depending on how runny your yolk is and what bites you take. The ham and cheese add salt and richness, the raw yolk its own sauce. This is French food at its most practical—elegant but fast, using a technique that looks flashy but is genuinely simple once you've made the batter.
