Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional, for omelette)
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1 cup of milk, flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter until smooth to create the crepe batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Pour in a thin layer of batter, swirling the pan to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly golden. Repeat with the remaining batter. Set the crepes aside.
For the omelette variation, whisk 2 eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of milk or cream (optional). Heat a small nonstick skillet with 1 teaspoon of butter. Pour in the egg mixture, let it cook over medium heat, and swirl the pan gently to distribute the eggs. Cook until just set. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 1-2 tablespoons of water to create a flavorful meat filling. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley or cilantro.
Spoon the ground meat mixture onto rolled crepes or fold it into the omelette. Optionally, sprinkle with shredded cheese for extra flavor.
Serve immediately as is or alongside a fresh salad.
