Whisk the buckwheat flour, wheat flour, 1 egg, water, and half of the salt until smooth.
Rest the batter for 30 minutes; as the flour absorbs water, the crepe tears less.
Lightly butter the pan and cook thin crepes from the batter, about 90 seconds per side.
Return one galette to the pan and place cheese and smoked beef in the center.
Crack an egg over it and sprinkle with black pepper and the remaining salt.
Fold the edges inward like a square and cook for 4 minutes, until the egg white is set.
Prepare the remaining galettes the same way.
Serve hot with green salad and cornichons.
💡 Tip: Buckwheat flour contains no gluten but makes a fragile batter; adding about 20 percent wheat flour helps the crepes turn more easily in the pan.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot for a weekend breakfast with green salad, cornichons, and light tea.
