  • Ingredient List

    For the creamy caramelized red onion sauce:

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 large red onion, sliced
    • 1 cup cream cheese, at room temperature
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Preparation

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a reusable non-stick sheet.
    2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and cook, stirring regularly, until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
    3. Transfer the caramelized onions, cream cheese, water, maple syrup, salt, and pepper to a food processor. Blend until smooth and homogeneous. Set aside.
    4. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the asparagus for 1 minute, then drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
    5. Divide the creamy onion sauce among the buckwheat galettes. Top with smoked salmon and fresh dill. Roughly chop the blanched asparagus and add on top of the salmon.
    6. Fold the galettes over themselves to enclose the filling, then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes, until the galettes are heated through. Serve warm.

FAQ – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COOKING

Are buckwheat crepes gluten-free?

Yes, buckwheat crepes are naturally gluten-free since buckwheat isn’t a grain but a seed. Just be sure there’s no cross-contamination if you need them 100% gluten-free. They're a great choice for people with gluten sensitivity.

Can you make crepes with just buckwheat flour?

Absolutely. Traditional Breton galettes are made with only buckwheat flour, water, and salt. They have a slightly earthy flavour and are ideal for savoury fillings. You don’t need wheat flour if you’re looking for a gluten-free option.

Is buckwheat good for crepes?

Yes! Buckwheat flour gives crepes a nutty flavour and hearty texture. It’s perfect for savoury recipes and holds fillings well. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free and rich in fibre and minerals.

What to serve with buckwheat crepes?

Buckwheat crepes pair well with a green salad, roasted vegetables, or a bowl of soup. You can also serve them with cider or white wine. They’re versatile enough for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

What is the best filling for crepes?

Great fillings for crepes include ham and cheese, sautéed mushrooms, spinach and goat cheese, or smoked salmon. For buckwheat crepes, savoury fillings like eggs, bacon, or Nordic shrimp work beautifully. They’re perfect for brunch or a light dinner.
