In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Gradually add the flour and salt, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Stir in the melted butter.
For tender crepes, let the batter rest for about 30 minutes before cooking. (giallozafferano.com)
2. Cook the Crepes
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the center of the pan and quickly swirl the pan to spread it into a thin layer.
Cook for about 1 minute, until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook the other side for another 20–30 seconds.
Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
3. Add the Ham and Cheese
Place one crepe back into the warm skillet.
Add a slice or two of ham and a generous amount of cheese over one half of the crepe. Sprinkle with a little black pepper and fresh chives if desired.
Fold the crepe in half, then fold it again into a triangle.
Cook for another minute or two until the cheese is completely melted.
4. Serve
Transfer the warm crepes to a serving plate and serve immediately.
They are delicious on their own or alongside a simple green salad, fresh tomatoes, or your favorite dipping sauce.
🧀 Tips for Perfect Crepes
Keep the batter fairly thin so the crepes stay soft and flexible.
Letting the batter rest helps produce tender crepes.
Use medium heat so the crepes become golden without burning.
Don’t overfill them, or they can become difficult to fold.
Gruyère, Swiss, mozzarella, cheddar, or Emmental all work beautifully.
For extra flavor, add a little Dijon mustard before adding the ham and cheese.
🍽️ Make Them Ahead
The plain crepes can be prepared ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. When you’re ready to eat, simply add the ham and cheese and warm them in a skillet until the filling is hot and melted. (Olivia’s Cuisine)
