Method

Buckwheat galettes ( savoury crepe) are popular in France. You can make the batter the night before, ready to whip up a European-feel holiday brunch.

  1. Mix all galette batter ingredients in a large bowl. The batter should be runny, if not add some more water. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Fry mushrooms in butter until golden and cooked. Stir through chives and set aside.
  3. Heat a large non-stick crêpe pan or fry pan over medium high heat. Brush the pan with melted butter, then pour a ladle of batter in the middle of the pan, tilting the pan to coat the bottom of the pan with batter thinly.
  4. Cook for 1 minute until just set. Spread a little dijon mustard, then layer with ham. Crack an egg onto the centre, sprinkle over with cheese and continue cooking until the egg is cooked to your liking.
  5. Fold the four edges of the galette up to almost reach the egg yolk. Keep cooking for 1 minute, then brush the edges with melted butter. Season with salt and pepper and scatter chopped chives.
  6. Serve with butter sautéed mushrooms.
