Ingredients:
For the crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Pinch of salt
For the filling:
- 8 slices of ham
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, and salt until smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and tilt it in a circular motion to evenly spread the batter across the surface.
- Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook the other side for another minute.
- Once all the crepes are cooked, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each (if using), then place a slice of ham and a sprinkle of shredded cheese in the center.
- Fold the crepes in half, then fold again to create a triangle or roll them into a cylinder shape.
- Return the filled crepes to the skillet to warm them through and melt the cheese, about 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Enjoy these savory Ham and Cheese Crepes with your favorite side or as a delicious standalone dish!
