   Place the bread pieces in a bowl, add the water, and squeeze the bread lightly to saturate it with the water.

2. 2

   Add the mushroom, zucchini, onion, chives, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and the eggs, and mix well.

   Heat the canola oil in one large or two smaller skillets.

5. 5

   Using about 1/2 cup of the bread mixture for each of four pancakes, spoon it into the skillet(s), and press down on it with a fork to make pancakes that are about 5 inches in diameter and 1/2-inch thick.

   Cook the pancakes for about 5 minutes over medium to high heat, then flip them over, and cook them on the other side for 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Transfer the pancakes (or galettes) to a warm plate, and set them aside while you make the salad.
