How to Make Ham Cheese French Crêpes
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and fine sea salt. Create a well in the center and crack in the large eggs, slowly incorporating the flour into the eggs for a smooth batter.
- Gradually whisk in the whole milk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Stir in the melted unsalted butter. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature to enhance texture.
- Preheat your nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush it lightly with melted butter.
- Pour about 60 ml of the rested batter into the skillet and quickly swirl to spread it evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the underside is golden brown. Gently flip it and cook for another 30 seconds before transferring to a plate. Keep warm.
- If desired, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the cooked crêpe. Add the cooked ham and sprinkle generously with grated Gruyère cheese. Fold the crêpe into a triangle, encasing the filling.
- Return the filled crêpes to the skillet over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the cheese melts and the edges become crisp. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of black pepper.

Notes
Allowing the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes is essential for achieving tender crêpes. Use a good nonstick skillet for easy cooking.
