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. 1. Keep your crepe ingredients organized in Mason jars or cute containers for a rustic touch.
  2. 2. Utilize a hanging pot rack to store your collection of cast iron skillets and pans for easy access when making crepes.
  3. 3. Store your favorite crepe fillings in reusable glass containers, like mini mason jars, to keep them fresh and organized in the fridge.
