Ingredients

Method

  1. Mix the flour with a pinch of salt. Add the eggs, then gradually whisk in the milk to avoid lumps.
  2. Stir in 20 g of melted butter. Rest the batter for 15 minutes if you have time.
  3. Heat a buttered frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour in a small ladle of batter and cook the crêpe for 1 minute on each side. Make 8 crêpes.
  4. Put one crêpe back in the pan over medium heat, sprinkle with grated cheese and lay a slice of ham on top.
  5. Fold in the sides and leave for 2 minutes, until the cheese melts. Repeat with the other crêpes.

💡 Tip : Crack an egg onto the crêpe before folding: that is the French « complète ».
