Buckwheat Crepes with Ham, Cheese and Egg-David Lebovitz’s My Paris Kitchen

July 18, 2016 by Renee

Buckwheat Crepes with ham, cheese and eggBuckwheat flour is not an ingredient that I have ever cooked with. I’ve eaten my share of kasha varnishkes but have never really enjoyed the buckwheat groats.

And that’s the problem. If you have something only in one form, you may not like it. But these crepes, galettes as they are really called (Wait, aren’t galettes the same as crostadas or free form tarts? A question for another day!) are quite good. Of course, the copious amounts of butter, prosciutto, egg and grated cheese help too.

They are not a pretty food. The color of each crepe is a muddy grey. It’s only when you give it a second fry with the butter (plus the ham, cheese and egg) that it crisps up and turns it a lovely shade of brown. But for a while, it is touch and go on the color appeal.

Once assembled, a transformation occurs and it turns into a delightful ham and cheese savory crepe with a runny egg on top. As you only turn up the sides to keep all the fillings from spilling out, I can see where crostatas, free form tarts and galettes all have similarities to this folding concept.

This simple meal is ideal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I can see many more of these in my future.

    I do love these and need to make sure I figure out how to be more successful making them! Perhaps a crêpe pan is in my future?

    I made mine for dinner, but my hubby thinks I should make them for breakfast over and over and over again 😉 I agree the crepes are not a pretty color at all- they actually scared me a little, but they did taste very good! But not the sweet crepes we expect

    Wow, that looks fantastic. I wish mine turned that great.

    Your close up actually looks like you were able to fold your galette without it cracking. To cook the egg (and, I even like mine runny) I had to cook mine for so long that the fold cracked and wouldn’t stay put.. I agree, the end result is pretty darn tasty although I don’t know if it’s work the work to get there. I did like the taste of the buckwheat crepes and have tasted savory galettes in Paris that were yummy so I may keep trying.

    Yeah I was worried about the color until late it had its second cooking and. Then it browned up nicely.
