This quick and easy recipe features a delicate almond flour-based crepe thatβs perfectly tender and gluten-free, making it an ideal choice for anyone following a ketogenic or low-carb lifestyle. Filled with layers of smoky deli ham and gooey melted cheddar cheese, each bite is a flavor-packed experience. The batter, enriched with cream cheese, eggs, and a touch of heavy cream, creates a lusciously smooth texture, while the optional garnish of fresh chives adds a pop of color and brightness. Ready in just 30 minutes, these crepes are a show-stopping option for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. Serve them warm for an irresistibly comforting and satisfying meal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cream cheese, eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Use a blender or an immersion blender to mix until a smooth batter forms.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, pour in about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter, swirling the skillet to spread the batter thinly and evenly.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set and the bottom is golden brown. Gently flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the crepe from the skillet and set it aside. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed. You should have approximately 4-5 crepes.
Return one cooked crepe to the skillet. Lay 1 oz of sliced ham and sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese over half of the crepe.
Fold the other half over the filling and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Transfer the filled crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining crepes and fillings.
Garnish with chopped chives if desired, and serve warm.
