Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Cooked ham, diced or sliced
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
- 1 as needed Butter or cooking spray, for greasing the pan
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until smooth. The batter should be thin and lump-free. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
While the batter rests, prepare the filling by combining the diced ham, shredded Gruyère cheese, heavy cream, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until evenly incorporated and set aside.
Heat a non-stick crepe pan or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan, tilting and rotating the pan quickly to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes with parchment paper between each to prevent sticking.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To assemble, place a crepe on a flat surface and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the ham and cheese filling onto one half of the crepe. Fold the crepe in half, then fold it again to create a triangle. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
Arrange the filled crepes on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is warm.
Remove the crepes from the oven and transfer them to serving plates. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
