Buckwheat Galette with Leek Fondue and Grilled Bacon Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup buckwheat flour
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 slices of bacon
• 2 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, washed and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, water, and salt until smooth. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and set aside.
3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the leeks. Cook, stirring occasionally until the leeks are tender and caramelized, about 15 – 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Meanwhile, heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in 1/4 cup of the buckwheat batter and tilt the pan to spread it out into an even circle. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the galette and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.
5. Serve the galettes topped with the leek fondue and crispy bacon.

Verdict:

This savory galette with leek fondue and grilled bacon is the perfect dish for savory breakfast, brunch, or even lunch. The crispy texture of buckwheat galette complements the caramelized and tender leeks. The added bacon brings a nutty, salty flavor. You just cannot go wrong with this recipe.
