Ingredients
- For the crepes:
- - 1 cup all-purpose flour
- - 2 large eggs
- - 1 1/4 cups milk
- - 2 tablespoons melted butter
- - Pinch of salt
- - Cooking spray
- For the filling:
- - 4 slices of ham
- - 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- - 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- - 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- - 4 large eggs
- - Salt and pepper to taste
- - Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the skillet, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the edges start to brown. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the cooked crepe from the skillet and set aside. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- In the same skillet, add the ham slices and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a separate skillet, fry the eggs to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble the crepes, place a slice of ham in the center of each crepe. Top with the sautéed vegetables and a fried egg.
- Roll up the crepe, folding in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
