Spinach, herb and egg galettes
Savoury galettes – the French buckwheat crêpes, not the flaky tart – are such a delicious and warming lunch or dinner. They can be filled with anything you like, and in this recipe we’ve gone for a decadent mixture of Gruyère cheese and crème fraîche. It’s topped, as is traditional, with a just-set Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker®, for even more richness.

Heat a little butter in a non-stick frying pan and add enough galette batter to cover the base, swirling to ensure it’s evenly spread
Cook until there are no wet spots on the crêpe, then slide onto a plate (no need to flip) and repeat with the remaining batter
Place each pancake onto a large baking tray. Spoon a quarter of the cheese mixture onto the centre of each crêpe, leaving a hole for an egg. Crack an egg into the centre and fold up the edges of the crêpe, then repeat with the other three pancakes
