Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup Warm Water
- 1 cup Milk (any kind)
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
Filling
- 8 oz High-Quality Deli Ham (sliced)
- 10 large Eggs (scrambled with cream or milk)
- 8 oz Medium Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Crepe Preparation: Blend warm water, milk, large eggs, melted butter, all-purpose flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a blender until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes to ensure a tender texture.
- Cooking the Crepes: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt a small amount of butter. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of batter into the skillet, swirling to spread it thinly and evenly. Cook each side for about 1 minute or until golden brown. Stack cooked crepes and keep warm.
- Preparing the Filling: In a lightly buttered pan, scramble the eggs until fluffy. Season to taste and set aside. This will be the delicious filling for your crepes.
- Assembling the Crepes: Brush one side of a warm crepe with Dijon mustard if desired. Layer shredded cheddar cheese, slices of deli ham, scrambled eggs, and a bit more cheese on top. Fold or roll the crepe to enclose the filling securely.
- Sautéing the Filled Crepes: In the same skillet, add butter and sauté the filled crepes over medium-low heat. Cook about 3 minutes per side until the crepes are golden and the cheese inside is warmed and slightly melted.
Notes
- Resting the batter is crucial for tender crepes.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based alternative if desired.
- Adjust the amount of cheese and ham according to preference.
- Use a non-stick skillet for best results to prevent sticking.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
