The galette is Brittany's savory buckwheat crêpe, traditionally served with cider. The earthy, nutty flavor of buckwheat goes beautifully with sautéed vegetables and Emmental. It is naturally gluten-free when made with pure buckwheat flour.
Sift the buckwheat flour with the salt into a bowl, add the egg, then gradually whisk in the water until smooth. Cover and rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour (ideally overnight).
Meanwhile, sauté the vegetables in olive oil over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with salt, pepper and thyme.
Heat a large non-stick pan or crêpe pan over medium-high heat and grease lightly with butter. Pour in a ladle of batter and tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread it thinly.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges curl and the top has set. The galette should be lightly golden.
Put the filling and cheese in the center, then fold the edges toward the middle into a square, leaving the center open. Cook, covered, for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
Serve immediately, hot, with a green salad and dry cider.
