  1. I love this whole recipe. They only problem I have is I don’t care for runny yolks. Offhand, the only solution I can come up with is to make and fold the crepes, cook the egg separately and then place it into the folded crêpe. You could still bake the whole thing together. It defeats the purpose of the method but…any other suggestions?

  2. Just made this and omg it is amazing!! Only thing I did different was added some salt and pepper to the egg for some more flavor. A sauce i think would be lovely over this – a suggestion i read in the comments was hollandaise! That would be delightful.

  3. Not true, not true, not true,! You can absolutely make gallettes with only buckwheat flour, and the original French recipes usually only use buckwheat flour. Look through YouTube and you will find dozens of recipes and videos for galets using only buckwheat flour. They do not fall apart! If they are done correctly.

  4. This isn't the right way to cook them (I'm French). Cook them opened with butter in a pan, and only close them once the cheese has melted and the egg white is cooked. By then the crêpe will be crispy and not soaggy like yours.

  5. These look wonderful😋
    I love buckwheat flour for pancakes too. To me with the butter & maple syrup a buckwheat pancake tastes chocolaty. I am not even a huge fan of chocolate but buckwheat pancakes hit the spot with zero guilt.
    I'll definitely be trying these crepes and soon. Great, easy recipe. Thanks Julia☺
