Ingredients
- Crepe Batter:
- A generous 1 ½ cups of fresh milk
- 1 cup of versatile all-purpose flour
- 2 quality large eggs
- 2 tablespoons of finely chopped, vibrant cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon of melted butter for a rich touch
- 2 teaspoons of zesty chile-garlic sauce like Sriracha®
- Crepe Filling:
- 8 large, farm-fresh eggs
- A quarter cup of creamy milk
- Half a cup of savory shredded Cheddar cheese
- A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to elevate flavors
- 1 teaspoon of nutritious olive oil
- Around a third cup each of diced onion, red bell pepper, and optional jalapeno pepper
- Half a cup of succulent chopped ham
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter, divided as needed
Step 1
In a blender, combine a blend of milk, flour, eggs, fresh cilantro, melted butter, and a hint of chile-garlic sauce. Blend until the mixture is smooth and reaches a thin consistency, which usually takes about a minute. Let the batter sit aside to rest for a minimum of half an hour to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 2
Next, warm up a crepe pan or a small skillet over medium heat. Using a pastry brush, coat the pan with a tablespoon of melted butter and pour in around 1/2 cup of the crepe batter. Tilt and rotate the pan to ensure the batter spreads evenly, forming a round shape that covers the entire bottom surface. Cook until you spot tiny golden brown spots on the crepe's bottom, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 3
Carefully flip the crepe with a spatula to brown the other side, cooking for an additional 30 to 60 seconds. Gently transfer the cooked crepe onto a plate and continue this process, stacking the crepes on top of each other, adding more butter as needed.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until they are thoroughly combined. Stir in some flavorful Cheddar cheese, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper for added taste.
Step 5
Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté onion, bell pepper, and a touch of jalapeno pepper until they turn tender, usually around 3 minutes. Incorporate the ham and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Lower the heat, mix in a spoonful of melted butter, and pour in the egg mixture. Cook and stir until the eggs are scrambled and moist, but no longer runny, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 6
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture onto the lower third of a crepe and roll it up like a jelly roll. Repeat this process with the remaining crepes and filling to create a delightful and tasty dish.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your crepe ingredients organized in Mason jars or cute containers for a rustic touch.
- 2. Utilize a hanging pot rack to store your collection of cast iron skillets and pans for easy access when making crepes.
- 3. Store your favorite crepe fillings in reusable glass containers, like mini mason jars, to keep them fresh and organized in the fridge.
