Method
- 1 Mix the buckwheat flour with cold water and salt until a thin paste is formed, and let it rest for at least 1 hour.
- 2 Heat a cast iron pan, grease it with unsalted butter, then coat it with a very thin layer of batter and fry for 2 minutes.
- 3 Sprinkle grated Gruyère cheese on top of the pizza, arrange the ham slices, and crack an egg in the middle.
- 4 Cover and fry for another 3 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked through but the yolks are still runny.
- 5 Fold the four edges of the pastry inwards to form a square, leaving the yolk exposed in the center.
- 6 Fry for another minute until the edges are crispy, then serve hot.
