Tregalette Breizh Croque
What it is
Breizh Croque is a ready-to-eat savory crepe made with buckwheat flour, a traditional ingredient in Brittany, France. This thin, delicate crepe is designed for convenience, offering an authentic taste of French regional cuisine without the need for homemade preparation. It is typically sold in a package that keeps it fresh and ready for immediate use or quick heating. The buckwheat flour gives it a distinct earthy flavor and a slightly chewier texture compared to crepes made with wheat flour.

To enjoy your Breizh Croque, you can warm it gently in a non-stick pan over medium heat for about one minute per side until it is pliable and slightly heated through.

The crepes are also delicious served simply with a touch of butter or a light sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard wheat crepes, Breizh Croque is made with buckwheat flour, which imparts a nuttier, more robust flavor. This traditional Breton style results in a slightly denser, chewier texture that holds up well to various fillings. The color is also typically darker than that of a wheat crepe.
