La Basquaise

The egg in the middle, the tomato around it, and nobody hurries the ham.

Tante Maëlle's note

How to make it

  1. Pour buckwheat batter and spread it thin.
  2. Cook it crisp and brown on both sides, unless the guest asks otherwise (that is how the notebook recommends it).
  3. Place the tomato: usually 3 pieces.
  4. Place the ham: usually 2 pieces.
  5. Place the egg: usually 1 piece.
  6. Fold it: Envelope. Four edges swiped toward the centre: a square galette.

Price and cost

It sells for 8,50 €. At the usual helpings it costs about 1,90 € to make (0,40 € of batter and 1,50 € of fillings), before any discount and less for home-grown fillings. Mastery stamps and the market's charm cards raise the price; see mastery.

The notebook page

The page is missing at first. It turns up the first time you serve this crêpe well. Until then the stub reads:

Red, white, and a ring from an egg cup. Tomato, ham and egg.

It belongs to the set Les Galettes du marché, worth 4 pearls once every crêpe in it has been served really well.
