Savoury Crepes

Crepes are so easy, light and delicious. It’s one of my favourite breakfasts to make on the weekend when I have more time and I can make breakfast for my loved ones! Sweet crepes are amazing (you can use this recipe for them) but sometimes I prefer a savoury crepe that is cheesy, with a runny egg. If you’ve ever been intimidated by making crepes, try this recipe for a trial run!

Ingredients

Crepes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups 2% milk
• 2 tbsp melted butter (or neutral oil)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Dijonnaise:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard

Fillings:

• Red onion (diced)
• Sliced ham (fried)
• Sliced tomatoes
• Shredded lettuce
• Cheddar cheese
• Fried eggs

Instructions

To make the crepes:

1. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add in the milk and eggs and whisk vigorously to combine, until smooth.
2. Stream in the melted butter and whisk to combine.
3. Heat a crepe pan on medium-low heat (check notes) for a few minutes. When it's warm, add a tbsp of butter to melt.
4. Add 1/2 cup of batter to the pan and quickly spread it so that it covers the pan in a thin layer. You can add any extra batter in spots that are bare.
5. Cook for 2 minutes or until the sides are getting a lil crispy and it is fully opaque.
6. Carefully go around the crepe and detach the sides from the pan & flip the crepe. Cook for another 1-2 minutes - depending how brown you want it and serve immediately.
7. To make a savoury crepe, after the crepes are made, lightly fry eggs in a little butter, followed by the slices of ham.
8. Cover a crepe with the sauce, ham, cheese, onion, tomatoes, lettuce, fold and add the egg, then fold once more. Enjoy :)

Notes

Everyone’s stove works differently so it will take you 1-2 crepes to figure out what heat works for you, you might have to cook on low or medium.Note: everyone’s stove works differently so it will take you 1-2 crepes to figure out what heat works for you, you might have to cook on low or medium.
