In French cuisine, “galette” refers to two beloved but distinct dishes. The most widely known is the Breton galette, a savory buckwheat flour crêpe from Brittany, naturally gluten-free and traditionally filled with ingredients like ham, cheese, egg, mushrooms, or spinach, then folded into a square with the filling in the center. It’s a staple in French crêperies, often paired with dry cider.

The second type is the rustic free-form tart, often called a fruit galette. Made with flaky shortcrust pastry, it's filled with seasonal fruits like apples, pears, or berries, then baked until golden. This version is popular across France as a simple, elegant dessert or holiday treat—especially in the form of Galette des Rois during Epiphany.
