Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 12 Asparagus spears (trimmed)
- 6 Slices of ham
- 1 cup Shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
While the batter rests, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add the trimmed asparagus spears and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Pat dry and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and immediately tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
Cook for 2 minutes or until the crepe's edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe carefully using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, placing wax paper or parchment between crepes to prevent sticking.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Take each crepe, and place one slice of ham in the center. Add 2 asparagus spears and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese. Season with a small pinch of black pepper.
Fold the sides of the crepe over the filling to form a neat roll. Place the rolled crepes seam-side down in the baking dish.
Sprinkle any remaining cheese over the top of the rolled crepes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
