Ingredients
Serves 4

For the batter:

  • 500 ml water
  • 1 egg
  • 250 g buckwheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the filling:

A gourmet buckwheat galette, topped with our Jean Martin eggplant caviar and onion confit, with a soft-boiled egg and foie gras for a festive and generous version.

Preparation

To make the galette batter, pour the cold water, salt, and egg into a blender and pulse once. Then add the buckwheat flour and blend until you have a perfectly smooth batter.

After letting the batter rest for 15 minutes, you can cook the buckwheat galettes in a buttered crepe pan and keep them warm under a sheet of aluminum foil.

In the crepe pan over low heat, place a galette, spread the eggplant caviar leaving a small border, then add dots of onion confit, and cover with grated cheese.

Fold the edges of the galette to form a square and place the soft-boiled egg in the center, along with cubes of foie gras.

The soft-boiled egg should be cooked for 5 minutes in boiling water and then placed in cold water to stop the cooking and ensure a runny yolk.

Our tip

Always let the galette batter rest for at least 15 minutes before cooking: the buckwheat hydrates better and the galette holds together better during cooking.

Variation

For a version without foie gras, replace it with strips of sautéed mushrooms.

Pairings & suggestions

This gourmet galette pairs very well with a dry cider or a dry white wine.

Frequently asked questions

Can buckwheat galettes be prepared in advance?

Yes, cooked plain, they can be stored for 2 days in the refrigerator or frozen, to be filled at the time of serving.

Can the foie gras be replaced?

Yes, sautéed mushrooms provide a lighter version that is just as gourmet.

How can I get a perfect soft-boiled egg every time?

Count on 5 to 6 minutes of cooking in boiling water, then immediately plunge into cold water to stop the cooking process.

Can this filled galette be frozen?

This is not recommended because of the soft-boiled egg; it is better to prepare the plain galettes in advance and fill them at the last moment.
