Step 3

Plastic wrap your bowl and let it sit in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours

Step 4

Put a big amount of salted butter in a large flat skillet (ideally made for crepes), make sure you cook in high heat and add a ladleful of sarrasin batter. Let it sit for 1/2 minutes still in high heat, or until the corners caramelize.

Step 5

Fill the galette with a slice of ham or two, then add the egg and top with wanted amount of grated swiss cheese. Add some salt and pepper

Step 6

Fold the galette (in half/rectangle or the traditional square way that only lets you see the egg yolk). Remove from heat when the egg white is done
