Ingredients
Scale
Crepes 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
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (optional)
- 8 oz High-Quality Deli Ham (sliced)
- 10 large Eggs (for scrambling, mixed with cream or milk)
- 8 oz Medium Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
- Unsalted Butter (for cooking and sautéing, quantity as needed)
Instructions
- Crepe Preparation: Blend the warm water, milk, large eggs, melted butter, all-purpose flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a blender until you achieve a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 15 to 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 to 4 tablespoons of batter into the skillet, swirling it to create a thin, even layer. Cook each side for about 1 minute until golden brown. Stack the finished crepes and keep them warm.
- Scrambled Eggs Preparation: In a lightly buttered pan, scramble the 10 large eggs mixed with cream or milk over medium heat until fluffy and cooked through. Season as desired and set aside.
- Assembling the Crepes: Take one warm crepe and brush one side lightly with Dijon mustard if using. Layer on shredded cheddar cheese, sliced ham, scrambled eggs, and a little more cheese. Fold the crepe and roll it up to enclose the filling securely.
- Sautéing the Filled Crepes: Use the same skillet, add a bit of butter, and sauté the filled crepe pockets over medium-low heat. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden and heated through.
Notes
- Resting the crepe batter helps improve texture and prevents tearing.
- Use high-quality deli ham for the best flavor experience.
- Dijon mustard adds a nice tang but is optional.
- Adjust seasoning in scrambled eggs to taste.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
