Ingredients

Galette Batter

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cup buckwheat flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour* see note
  • 1 cup almond milk regular would work as well
  • cup water
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons avocado oil canola would also work
  • Vegan butter I use Earth Balance or Mikonos

Fillings

  • 2 -3 cups baby kale or spinach
  • 4-5 slices prosciutto
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese I used parmigiano reggiano, pecorino would also be great
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the egg, milk and water in a separate bowl, then add to the dry ingredients until just incorporated. You could also add everything to a blender and mix until well combined.
  • Cover the liquid mixture and let sit in the fridge at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Sautee your spinach or other greens in a pan until cooked to desired consistency. Cook eggs in another pan until yolks are just set and set aside.
  • Heat a pan (non-stick or crepe pan) over medium heat. Add a bit of (vegan) butter to the pan and swirl to coat evenly. Using about ¼ cup of batter, take the pan off the heat and slowly ladle in the batter to the center of the pan, tilting the pan as you add it to distribute the batter evenly. Cook for about 1 minute, or until batter just sets. At this point you can cook several crepe batters and store them separately until you're ready to reheat them and add toppings. We opted to cook and fill them one by one!
  • Add the wilted greens, then shredded cheese, then a slice or two of prosciutto, followed by the already cooked egg. Carefully fold over the edges of the batter to keep the heat in (this will help melt the cheese). Remove when cheese looks melted and ready!** (see note). Serve hot!
  • Keep any leftover batter for later, or use it for dessert crepes :)

Notes

* I suspect more buckwheat flour would be just as good. I think whole wheat flour could work as well for a more intense wheat-y flavor!
** I cooked mine a bit too long and they got crispy on the outsides. Still delicious, but for a softer crepe, cook until just set and take it off the heat while it's still soft.
