Galette Complète
Breton buckwheat galette filled with cooked ham, egg, Emmental and chives.
About Galette Complète
Galette complète is the named Breton buckwheat galette filled with ham, cheese and egg. This profile follows a Brittany version using cooked ham, grated Emmental, chives and butter on a buckwheat batter.
Earthy buckwheat balances the savoury ham and the nutty, milky richness of melted Emmental. Butter deepens the toasted flavour, while the egg adds richness and chives give the filling a fresh onion note.
The galette is thin and brown-speckled, folded into a square so the cooked egg remains visible at the centre. Its edges are crisp, while melted cheese and yolk keep the ham-filled middle soft and glossy.

Origins & food traditions
Taste France supplies the complete galette complète recipe selected here, combining a buckwheat batter with French butter, cooked ham, Emmental, eggs and chives. France's official tourism site independently identifies the classic crêperie combination as a savoury buckwheat pancake with ham, cheese and egg. This named filled preparation is substantively distinct from the accepted plain Galette de Sarrasin base.
