Makings of a Galette ... yuum :)

I spent another Saturday morning/early afternoon at the Marche des Lices in Rennes with a few of my roommates. But our goal this time was to get there early enough to buy fresh sausage galettes to eat. Galettes are THE dish in Bretagne, and if any of you know of my affinity for pancakes ... well, it's a no-brainer that I chose the right French region to come to. A sauteed, dark wheat crepe with cheese, eggs, ham, sausage, etc ... for lunch, dinner, or snack ... no problem! So here's a little picture summary of the galette process (at least at this particular vendor's stand at the market):

Obvi we start with the batter:
Pile on the butter:

Time for the egg:

Fromage et jambon:

The ever-so-critical step of flipping the galette:

The delicate art of folding the galette into its perfect little shape:
Et .... on mange!!

Yes, you can call me a loser for this post ... don't worry, I'm leaving tomorrow to travel so I'll have some legit material soon! Bisous :)
