Savory Ham and Cheese Crêpes: A Delicious Brunch Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons butter, divided, or more as needed
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 slice thinly sliced ham
• 8 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese

Instructions

1. Combine flour, milk, eggs, and melted butter in a blender and blend until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Allow the batter to rest for a minimum of 20 minutes.
2. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions, stirring occasionally, until they develop a golden-brown color, approximately 5 minutes. Set aside.
3. Grease a crêpe pan or nonstick skillet with about 1 teaspoon of melted butter over medium heat. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Cook until small brown spots appear on the underside of the crêpe, around 2 minutes.
4. Carefully release the crêpe from the pan using a spatula and flip to brown the opposite side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the crêpe to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as required, and stack the crêpes between layers of parchment or wax paper.
5. To assemble, place a crêpe in the warm pan; spread mustard on one half, then add a slice of ham, some sautéed onions, and Gruyère cheese. Fold the crêpe over the filling, pressing gently, and heat until the cheese begins to melt. Fold in half again, creating a crêpe that is about one-quarter of its original size.
