HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, water, salt, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

02

Heat a 8-inch non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush with melted butter.

03

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot skillet, tilting and swirling the pan to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer of batter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the crêpe can be easily lifted.

04

Flip the crêpe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the second side. Transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crêpes as you go.

05

Once all crêpes are cooked, return one crêpe to the skillet over medium-low heat. Place a slice of ham and a sprinkle of Gruyère cheese on one half of the crêpe.

06

Fold the other half of the crêpe over the filling, then fold it again to form a triangle. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

07

Repeat with the remaining crêpes and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper to the batter. If you don't have a crêpe pan, a regular non-stick skillet works perfectly.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Swiss cheese or Comté can be used instead of Gruyère. Prosciutto or turkey can replace ham. For a vegetarian option, omit the ham and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
