Ham Egg And Gruyere Crepes With Maple Syrup Recipes

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.

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.

BREAKFAST CREPES WITH HAM, VEGETABLES, AND EGG

Steps:

• Mix milk, flour, eggs, butter, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Transfer batter to an electric blender and combine on high speed until blended; it's fine if batter has some lumps. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add ham and cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes more. Reduce heat to low and stir in spinach and tomato. Keep warm.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/3 cup batter into the skillet, swirling to cover the pan. Cook until underside of crepe is lightly brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Loosen edge of crepe and flip. Cook until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes more. Set aside; repeat with remaining batter.
• Place crepes onto the prepared baking sheet. Add ham-veggie mixture to the center of each crepe. Crack an egg carefully over ham mixtures. Fold edges of crepes inward.
• Bake crepes in the preheated oven until egg whites set, 8 to 11 minutes. Top crepes with parsley and season with salt and pepper.

BUCKWHEAT CREPES WITH HAM, GRUYERE AND FRIED EGG

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and lightly grease 2 baking sheets with butter.
• Add the milk, granulated sugar, 2 of the eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour and 2 tablespoons of the butter and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. (See Cook's Note.)
• Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush with butter, add 1/2 cup of the batter and tilt the skillet to swirl the batter evenly over the skillet. Cook until the bottom of the crepe is firm and the edges lift from the skillet, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is firm, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cover with a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the skillet with butter each time. Wipe out the skillet after the last crepe and reserve for later use.
• Transfer a crepe to a work surface and top with 1/2 cup of the cheese, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border all the way around. Top with 2 slices of ham. Fold the top and bottom borders in toward the center, pressing the crepe into the ham so that it sticks. Repeat with the right and left borders to create a square. Transfer the crepe to one of the prepared baking sheets using a spatula. Repeat with remaining crepes, cheese, and ham. Bake until the crepes are warm and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Crack the remaining 6 eggs into the skillet. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes.
• Top each crepe with a fried egg. Sprinkle with chives before serving, or sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve with red currant jelly.

BAKED EGGS WITH HAM AND GRUYERE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place uncured ham in the bottom of 2 small oven-proof crocks or ceramic bakers.
• Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream to each crock.
• Carefully break 1 egg into each crock. Sprinkle each with 1 ounce Gruyere and black pepper to taste.
• Place crocks on a sturdy baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes or until eggs are mostly set.
• Turn the broiler on high and move crocks to the top oven rack, just beneath the broiler. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
• Remove the crocks from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

BUCKWHEAT CREPES WITH EGGS, HAM, AND GRUYERE

Steps:

• Whisk together flours and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a medium bowl. Whisk in 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 2 tablespoons melted butter; whisk until smooth. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Remove batter from refrigerator and whisk in remaining 1/4 cup milk.
• Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon melted butter and use a crumpled-up paper towel to spread evenly. Add a scant 1/4 cup batter and quickly swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Cook until edges begin to dry, about 1 minute. Using your fingers or tongs, turn crepe, continue cooking about 15 seconds more; transfer to a plate and keep warm in the oven. Repeat process with remaining melted butter and batter, stacking each crepe on top of one another as you work.
• Using a fork or a whisk, blend remaining 12 eggs, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add eggs and begin stirring with a wooden spoon. Slowly drag the spoon around the bottom and sides of the pan until thickened, about 5 minutes. Continue stirring until eggs have formed loose, moist curds, 3 to 5 minutes more. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
• Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; set aside. Place a crepe, dark side down, on work surface. Layer a slice of ham, some of the Gruyere, and about 1/4 cup eggs on top of crepe. Roll crepe and place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat process with remaining crepes. Transfer baking dish to oven and bake for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
