Ham and cheese galettes

<p>With the strong flavour of ham and the gooeyness of melted cheese, these galettes will go down a treat with children and adults alike.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients:</span></strong></p> <ul> <li>1 cup flour</li> <li>½ teaspoons
sea salt flakes</li> <li>2 cups

water</li> <li>1 egg</li> <li>50g

butter</li> <li>250g
grated emmental cheese</li> <li>4 slices
leg ham (thin)</li> </ul> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Method:</span></strong></p> <p>1. Combine the flour, salt and egg in a large bowl, stir to combine then slowly whisk in the water. The batter should be the consistency of light cream and if it’s too thick, slowly add more water until you get it right.</p> <p>2. Heat a large non-stick frypan over a medium-high heat. Add 10g of butter, then pour half a cup of batter into the pan and quickly swirl around so it coats pan thinly and evenly.</p> <p>3. Cook galette for about two minutes or until borders peel off and bottom is slightly brown. Flip over and cook the other side for a minute. Repeat with remaining mixture. Pile galettes on a warm plate.</p> <p>4. Return galette to pan, sprinkle a quarter of the cheese over the surface of the galette and when it has melted add a slice of ham – roughly tearing it onto the galette so it’s in little pieces. Roll over borders and serve. Repeat with remaining galettes.</p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/food-wine/2016/04/pork-and-prawn-dumpling-soup/"><em>Pork and prawn dumpling soup</em></a></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/food-wine/2016/03/prawn-and-tofu-stir-fry/"><em>Prawn and tofu stir-fry</em></a></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/food-wine/2016/03/bbq-prawns-with-macadamia-dukkah-and-mint-lemon-yoghurt/"><em>BBQ prawns with macadamia dukkah and mint lemon yoghurt</em></a></strong></span></p>
