galette

Rustic French tart

A galette is a round, flat French pastry or cake.

The term most commonly refers to a rustic free-form tart with edges folded over the filling: We made a peach galette for dessert.

In Brittany, galette specifically means a savory buckwheat crêpe, typically filled with ham, cheese, and egg.
