Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Pancake Batter

In a blender, combine milk, eggs, flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Blend on low speed for about 1.5 minutes until all lumps have disappeared.

Make sure the batter is smooth and well mixed for fluffy pancakes.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

Chop the ham and cheese into small pieces; you can grate the cheese for easier melting. Ham can be cut into strips or cubes based on your preference.

Add the spinach to the filling mix and stir gently to combine.

Step 3

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour a ladle of pancake batter onto the skillet and cook for approximately 1.5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Once the pancake is cooked on one side, flip it gently using a spatula.

Step 4

Assemble and Serve

On each pancake, place a generous amount of the filling and fold the edges together to form an envelope shape.

Warm the filled pancakes in the skillet for an additional minute on each side.

Serve hot on a plate, topping with a fried egg and fresh herbs for extra flavor.

Servings

Imagine serving these divine crepes at your next gathering! 🎉 Place them on a beautiful platter, topped with a sunny-side-up egg and garnished with fresh herbs for a pop of color. **Don’t forget the dipping sauce**! A light garlic aioli or tangy yogurt sauce can elevate these flavors even further. For a fun twist, serve them with a side of mixed greens dressed lightly with vinaigrette for the perfect complement. 🌿✨

Faq

How do I avoid making tough crepes?
Ensure you don't overmix your batter; a few lumps are okay. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes for the best texture.
What can I use as a filling besides ham and cheese?
You can add sautéed vegetables, mushrooms, or even sweet options like fruits and whipped cream for dessert crepes!
Can I prepare the batter in advance?
Absolutely! You can store the crepe batter in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before using.
How do I prevent my crepes from sticking while cooking?
Ensure your skillet is well-preheated and lightly greased before pouring in the batter. A non-stick skillet works wonders!
What should I do if my crepes are tearing while flipping?
This can happen if the batter is too thick or if the skillet isn't heated enough. Make sure to pour just enough batter and allow it to cook through before flipping!
I've made them before, but they didn't turn out thin. What’s the secret?
The key is to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Use a ladle to pour, then quickly swirl the pan to coat the bottom in a thin layer.
