Ingredients

Scale

For the Crêpe Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Filling

  • 46 slices ham
  • 3/4 cup grated cheese (Gruyère or Emmental)
  • Butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until smooth and thin without lumps. Let the batter rest for about 20 minutes to ensure tender crêpes.
  2. Cook the crêpes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan and swirl to evenly coat the surface. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift easily, then flip and cook the other side for about a minute until lightly golden. Repeat until all batter is used.
  3. Assemble the filling: Lay each warm crêpe on a plate and place ham slices evenly across the surface. Sprinkle grated cheese on top while the crêpe is still warm so the cheese begins to melt immediately.
  4. Fold and serve: Fold the crêpe over the filling into a half-moon shape or roll it up like a burrito. Serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and the crêpes are warm and tender.

Notes

  • Rest your batter for better texture and to prevent tearing.
  • Use a hot pan to avoid sticking and for easier flipping.
  • If batter is too thick, thin with a splash of milk for smooth consistency.
  • Don’t overload fillings to avoid breakage while folding.
  • Butter the pan lightly to cook crêpes gently without frying.
