Ham and Cheese Crêpes deliver a timeless blend of savory comfort and elegant simplicity. Thin, delicate crêpes cradle slices of savory ham and melted cheese, creating a warm, satisfying bite that balances tenderness and a slight crisp at the edges. These crepes are versatile: served for a leisurely brunch with a crisp green salad, paired with Dijon mustard or a drizzle of creamy béchamel for extra richness, or enjoyed as a quick weekday meal with a side of pickles or lightly dressed arugula. Garnish options like chopped chives, a grind of black pepper, or a scattering of fresh herbs bring freshness and visual appeal. For a gourmet touch, use aged Gruyère or Comté for nuttier notes, or choose a mild Swiss or cheddar for a family-friendly version. All recipes from Kitchen Moxy can be found at www.kitchenmoxy.com
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons butter, divided, or more as needed
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 10 slices thinly sliced ham
- 8 ounces shredded Gruyère cheese
Process
- Prepare basic crêpe recipe at least an hour before making crêpes in a non-stick skillet.
- Heat 1 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Assemble crêpes one at a time, spread mustard over one half, then top with 1 slice of ham, some sautéed onion, and Gruyère cheese.
- Fold the crêpe over the filling, press gently, and heat briefly just until the cheese begins to melt. Fold in half again so each finished crêpe is about one-quarter the size of the original.
