Egg Ham And Cheese Crepes Benedict Recipes

HAM AND CHEESE CREPES

Steps:

• Add flour, milk, eggs, and melted butter to a blender and process until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Set batter aside for at least 20 minutes.
• Heat 1 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Coat a crepe pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat with about 1 teaspoon of the melted butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into the pan, swirling the pan to thinly coat the entire bottom. Cook until small brown spots appear on the bottom of the crepe, about 2 minutes.
• Loosen crepe carefully from the pan using a spatula and gently flip to brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Slide crepe onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, buttering the pan as needed and stacking crepes between pieces of parchment or waxed paper.
• Assemble crepes, one at a time, in the still-warm pan; spread some mustard over one half, cover mustard with some ham slices, and top with Gruyere cheese. Fold the other side over the filling, pressing down slightly, and heat briefly just until the cheese starts to melt. Fold crepe in half again. Each finished crepe should end up about 1/4 the size of the original.

HAM AND CHEESY EGG CREPES WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• For the crepes: Combine the milk, flour, sugar, salt, eggs and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a blender and blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before using or transfer to a container with a lid and let rest in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
• For the mustard sauce: Whisk together the creme fraiche, Dijon, whole-grain mustard and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
• Mix the parsley, chives and dill into the crepe batter. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with some of the remaining melted butter. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter and swirl the skillet so the batter completely covers the bottom. Cook until the underside of the crepe is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Loosen the edge of the crepe with a rubber spatula, then with your fingertips, quickly flip. Cook 1 minute more. Slide the crepe out of the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, coating the skillet with butter as needed. Stack the finished crepes directly on top of each other.
• For the ham and cheesy egg filling: Put the crepes on a plate. Smear each one with a little mustard sauce (leaving some for topping each crepe too), scatter some cheese on top and then put 2 pieces of ham over the cheese.
• Whisk the eggs in a bowl with some pepper. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring, until soft curds form, 2 to 3 minutes. Just before they set, stir in some salt.
• Spoon some scrambled eggs over each crepe, leaving a 2-inch border at the top and bottom, then smear on a bit more sauce and scatter on some parsley leaves. Fold the crepes over the eggs so the edges meet in the center and serve immediately.

FRENCH HAM, CHEESE, AND EGG CREPES

Steps:

• Make crepe batter: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk until very smooth. This can also be done in a food processor. Set batter aside to rest for about 15 minutes before using. Batter can also be covered and refrigerated for up to two days.
• Add some butter or nonstaick spray to a large frying pan (about 12-inches) and heat over high heat. Pour about 1/3 cup crepe batter into the pan and tilt the pan to swirl it around and coat it with a single, even layer. Once the first side cooks, flip the crepe.
• Crack an egg right on top of the crepe. Use a fork to gently break the egg yolk, give the egg a gentle whisk and spread it evenly all over the crepe. If you're worried about hitting the crepe during this step, you can scramble the egg in a bowl and pour it into the center of the crepe, the spread it around. Allow crepe to continue cooking until egg is set. Season with pepper, if desired.
• Spread 2 oz cheese over half the crepe. Allow to melt for 30-60 seconds. Add 2 oz of ham on top of the cheese. Fold crepes in half, covering the ham and cheese side of the crepe with the side that only has egg on it. Fold crepe in half again, making a finished crepe that is 1/4 circle in area and packed with many layers of crepe, cheese, ham and egg.
• Repeat with remaining batter, cheese, and ham.

HAM AND EGG CREPE SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 4 crepes on a rimmed baking sheet. Place 2 slices ham on each crepe. Crack 1 egg into center of each; fold edges toward center. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until egg white is set and yolk is still runny, 12 minutes. Top with chives.

CREPES BENEDICT WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare hollandaise sauce: Separate eggs; reserve egg whites for the filling. Combine egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon, and hot pepper sauce in a blender. Cover and blend for 5 seconds. Set blender on high speed and pour in melted butter in a thin stream; it should thicken almost immediately. Place the blender container in a pan of hot tap water to keep sauce warm until needed.
• Mix flour, milk, warm water, 3 eggs, and sugar for crepes together in a bowl. Whisk in melted butter until smooth.
• Heat a 6- to 8-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup crepe batter into the hot pan; tilt and swirl the pan to coat with batter. Cook until edges are browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pick up the edge with a fork, grab with both hands, peel, and flip crepe over in one motion. You may use a spatula but be careful not to smash the crepe as it's delicate. Cook until the other side is browned, about 2 minutes more. Remove crepe and set aside in a warmer, oven, or double boiler to keep warm while you cook remaining crepes.
• Prepare filling: Spray a large skillet with cooking spray; warm over medium-high heat. Whisk reserved egg whites with 4 eggs; pour into the skillet. Cook and stir until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Heat ham in the same skillet until warm.
• Put some eggs and ham in each crepe. Roll them up and serve 2 per person with hollandaise drizzled on top.
