Savory crêpes (Crêpes salées)

(Savory crêpes, Galettes, Savory galettes)

Crêpes salées, often called savory crêpes or galettes in some regions of France, especially in Brittany, are thin pancakes made from a batter that typically contains either wheat flour or buckwheat flour, which gives them a slightly nutty flavor and a darker color.


Unlike the sweet version (crêpes sucrées) which uses various "sweet fillings", crêpes salées are filled with savory ingredients that may include cheese (often Gruyère, Comté, or Emmental), ham or various types of cured meat, eggs, mushrooms, spinach, caramelized onion, or various herbs and spices.


Savory crêpes are a versatile food that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as a snack, and are often accompanied by a side salad or served with cider, which is a traditional beverage choice in Brittany.
