Scale
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup (4 oz) cake flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 5 oz whole milk
- 5 oz heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
For the Filling:
- 8 oz ham (thinly sliced)
- 8 oz Swiss cheese (shredded or sliced)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
. Make the Crepe Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, milk, and heavy cream until combined. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
- Stir in the melted butter. Cover the batter and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
2. Cook the Crepes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to spread it evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is golden.
- Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.
3. Assemble the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard and mayonnaise. Spread a thin layer of the mixture over one side of each crepe.
- Add a few slices of ham and a layer of Swiss cheese to the crepe’s center.
4. Warm and Serve:
- Fold the crepes into quarters or roll them up. Place them in a warm skillet over low heat, covered, for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
