Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 cup Warm Water
- 1 cup Milk (any kind)
- 3 large 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)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a blender, combine warm water, milk, large eggs, melted butter, all-purpose flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Let the batter rest for 15 to 30 minutes to improve texture and consistency.
- Cook 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 and quickly swirl it around to form a thin, even layer. Cook the crepe for about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown. Stack the cooked crepes and keep them warm while cooking the rest.
- Prepare the Scrambled Eggs: In a lightly buttered pan, scramble the 10 eggs mixed with cream or milk until fluffy and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Set aside the fluffy scrambled eggs for the filling.
- Assemble the Crepes: Take one warm crepe and brush one side with Dijon mustard if using. Layer cheddar cheese, slices of deli ham, scrambled eggs, and a little more cheese on top. Fold the crepe and roll it up to encase the filling securely.
- Finish by Sautéing the Filled Crepes: In the same skillet, melt some butter over medium-low heat. Place the filled crepes seam side down and sauté them until golden and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. This step melts the cheese and crisps the crepe exterior, enhancing flavor and texture.
Notes
- Allowing the batter to rest is key for thin, tender crepes.
- Use a well-seasoned non-stick skillet for easier crepe cooking and flipping.
- Optional Dijon mustard adds a subtle tang that complements the ham and cheese.
- Customize the filling with your favorite meats, cheeses, or vegetables.
- Keep cooked crepes warm by stacking and covering them with foil or a clean towel.
