Savory Ham and Cheese Crêpes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Ham and Cheese Crêpes.

1. Step 1

   To create delicious crêpes, start by blending together flour, milk, eggs, and melted butter in a blender.

2. Step 2

   Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once blended, let the batter rest for at least 20 minutes; this helps achieve that perfect texture.

4. Step 4

   While the batter is resting, melt a teaspoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.

5. Step 5

   Add in some chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn a lovely golden brown, which should take around 5 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Once they’re beautifully caramelized, remove them from the heat and set them aside.

7. Step 7

   Next, heat a crêpe pan or a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add about a teaspoon of melted butter to coat the surface.

8. Step 8

   Pour roughly 1/4 cup of the rested batter into the pan, swirling it around to evenly cover the bottom.

9. Step 9

   Cook the crêpe until you see small brown spots forming, which should take about 2 minutes.

10. Step 10

    Carefully use a spatula to loosen the edges of the crêpe, then flip it over to cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes.

11. Step 11

    Once cooked, transfer the crêpe to a plate.

12. Step 12

    Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed, and stack the crêpes between sheets of parchment or wax paper to keep them warm and ready for filling.

13. Step 13

    Now, to assemble your delightful crêpes, place one back in the warm pan.

14. Step 14

    Spread a thin layer of mustard on one half, then layer on some savory ham slices, the sautéed onions, and a generous sprinkle of Gruyère cheese.

15. Step 15

    Fold the crêpe over the filling, pressing down gently to seal in all those wonderful flavors, and heat it briefly until the cheese starts to melt.

16. Step 16

    For a lovely presentation, fold the crêpe in half again, creating a quarter-sized serving that’s perfect for enjoying.

    Each bite will be a delightful combination of textures and tastes, making your crêpe experience truly special!.
