Get Ready for a Tasty Adventure
Before you start, make sure you have the basic crêpe batter ready to go. This recipe yields one crêpe, perfect for a light meal or snack.
Gather Your Ingredients
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup crêpe batter
- 1 slice of ham
- 1 slice of Swiss or cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
Let’s Get Cooking!
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Turn on your broiler and position a rack about 6 inches from the heating element. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick crêpe or frying pan over medium heat. Add just enough crêpe batter to create a thin layer.
Step 2: Add the Filling
When the underside of the crêpe is almost cooked, add a slice of ham to the center. Follow with a slice of cheese. As the cheese begins to melt, use a spatula or palette knife to fold in the crêpe on four sides, creating a square shape.
Step 3: Add the Egg
Break the egg into the center of the crêpe, making sure to keep it within the folded-in sides. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the white starts to turn opaque.
Step 4: Finish with Flair
Transfer the pan to the broiler and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the white is firm and the yolk is just beginning to set. Finally, transfer the crêpe to a warmed plate and serve immediately.
Enjoy Your Delicious French Crêpe!
