Crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside, this sizzling skillet fonio galette is so satisfying for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The variations are endless: add sautéed veggies like onions + zucchini, top with a fried egg, or sub in vegan butter and cheese to make dairy-free!

Ingredients

Makes one 8-inch galette
    • tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1/2  cup thinly sliced shallots
    • 1 1/2  cups dry Yolélé fonio
    • cups vegetable broth
    • salt and pepper

        In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.

      • 03 .  

        Add the fonio and continuously stir for 2 minutes.

         

      • 04 .

        Preheat the oven to broil.

        Stir in the eggs and cheese in the fonio mixture, and season with salt and pepper.

      • 09 .  

        Spread the fonio mixture evenly in the skillet. Dot with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes.

         

      • 10 .  

        Place the skillet in the oven and broil for about 5-8 minutes, until golden and sizzling on top.
