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 BRIE CREPES

Steps:

• For the crepes: Add the eggs, milk, club soda and a pinch of salt to a blender and process until completely combined. Pour in the 3 tablespoons melted butter, then add the flour and blend until smooth. The mixture should be like VERY loose pancake batter. If the mixture is a little thick, add a little more milk. Let the batter sit for at least 30 minutes before using.
• Melt about 1/2 teaspoon butter in a small nonstick saute pan over medium heat. The butter should coat the bottom of the pan; if there is a lot of excess, wipe it out with a paper towel. Keep the paper towel handy in case you need it again (you will).
• Fill a 2-ounce ladle almost to the top with batter and pour it into the preheated pan, tipping and rolling the pan as you ladle the batter to evenly cover the bottom. This will take a little practice; even when you are an experienced crepe maker the first couple always get wasted. Accept it and move on.
• When the edges of the crepe begin to pull away from the edges of the pan and the bottom begins to brown a little, turn the crepe over and cook it for about 1 minute on the other side. Remove the crepe from the pan to a plate and let cool. Stack the crepes as they are cooked between parchment paper squares. Repeat this process until all the batter is used, wiping the pan with your paper towel or melting a little more butter in the pan as needed.
• For the ham and Brie crepes: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Divide the ham and cheese evenly among 8 crepes (save the remaining crepes for another use). Roll each crepe and place on a sheet pan fitted with a rack. Bake to melt the cheese and warm the ham, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil to coat. Crack the eggs in the skillet (you can do this in batches if you prefer). Cook until the whites are just set, a minute or two. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Whisk to combine the shallots, vinegar, Dijon, and 1/2 cup olive oil in a medium bowl. Dress the greens lightly and set aside.
• Plate 2 crepes on each of 4 serving plates and top each with 1 egg and a handful of the dressed greens. Enjoy!

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.
