Galette is a general term used in French to designate different types of round and flat crusty cakes. One noticeable type is the galette des Rois (King cake) eaten on the day of Epiphany. There is a children’s song about galette: "J'aime la galette, savez-vous comment? Quand elle est bient faite, avec du beurre dedans". (“I like galette, do you know how? When it is made well, with butter inside.”)

Here you have a whole other type of galette, rather than sweet like the galette des Rois, try this Goat Cheese and Tomato version, serve with a good bottle of Merlot and dinner is served.
