Have you ever head of galette? It is a savory crepe from the French region of Brittany made from whole buckwheat. Unlike sweet crepes, they do not contain milk, which makes them ideal for savory dishes.

3 reasons to try this buckwheat crepe

1. With only need 3 ingredients (salt included!) you’ll have a cheap and quick meal
2. It’s versatile because you can fill it with whatever you want (see my low fodmap suggestions below)
3. The original recipe is naturally low in FODMAP and gluten free, so if you’re travelling to France, you can find them often on the menus.

For this savory crepes you’ll need

• whole buckwheat flour. Whole flour is actually better for this recipe, but you can also make the crepe with plain flour. They have both been tested and are low FODMAP.
• water
• one egg

Then you can eat it plain or with low FODMAP toppings, accompanied by a green salad.

Top your French buckwheat crepe with

• grated low FODMAP cheese like mozarella + a sunny side-up egg (my favorite)
• ham + egg
• prosciutto + egg
• sautéed canned mushrooms

This Low FODMAP French Buckwheat is filling and a healthy, protein and nutrient-packed lunch option!
