It is in Brittany where I regularly go that I discovered these savory pancakes: a true delight! Since then, not a single stay in Brittany without spending time in one of these charming establishments. They come in versions with mushrooms, vegetarian, or even with tuna.

Yields4 Servings
For the pastry
 2 Wheat flour
 3 Buckwheat flour
 3 Egg
 1 Milk
 Salt
 Pepper
 Herbs (parsley, basil, thyme, etc.)
 2 Apple
For the topping
 1 Onion
 3 Ham
 4 Egg
Directions
1

Preparation of the batter Prepare the batter with all the listed ingredients, remembering to add the spices. The mixture should be a little thicker than usual pancake batter. Proceed as you would for pancakes and cook 4 flat cakes. Set them aside.

2

Preparation of the filling: Slice the onion and dice the ham. Sauté them in a skillet until browned, then set aside.

3

Remove the cores and peel the apples. Slice them into very thin rounds and sauté them in a bit of butter until golden.

4

Filling for the crepe: Place a generous tablespoon of grated cheese in the center of each crepe, followed by another spoonful of the onion/ham mixture. Add a quarter of the apple slices and a generous tablespoon of thick cream. Fold the crepe to form a pocket.

5

Oven cooking: Place in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese, but not too long to avoid drying out the cakes (the microwave is ideal). At the time of serving, add a fried egg on each cake. Serve with a salad.

Notes

Buckwheat Pancakes with Ham, Egg, and Cheese

    Lighter version My suggestion: Make the dough with 100 g of buckwheat flour, 1 egg, and 50 g of melted butter. There's no need to include wheat flour and three eggs.

    Variation My suggestion: With organic buckwheat flour and no wheat flour, salt, and water, I prepare in advance a light, digestible batter that allows for all imaginable fillings. The more liquid the batter, the more delicate pancakes you will achieve: a treat!

    SUPER Delicious. I didn't add any apple. A treat, thank you. My suggestion: Change nothing, except the topping that can be varied.
