Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and fine sea salt until evenly combined. Create a well in the center, add two large eggs, and begin incorporating the flour gradually. Slowly pour in whole milk while whisking to achieve a smooth consistency with no lumps. Stir in the melted butter, cover the bowl, and let the batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to relax the gluten.
- After the batter has rested, preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. Once hot, take a small amount of melted butter and brush a thin layer onto the surface of the skillet to prevent sticking.
- Pour approximately 60 ml of the prepared batter into the center of the skillet, quickly swirling it around to coat the base evenly. Allow the crêpe to cook for 1-2 minutes, watching for the edges to lift and the bottom to turn golden brown. Carefully flip the crêpe using a spatula, then cook for an additional 30 seconds until lightly golden on the second side.
- Once you have your crêpes ready, take one and spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side, if desired. Add a few slices of cooked ham and a generous sprinkle of freshly grated Gruyère cheese on top. Fold the crêpe into a triangle, encasing the delicious filling within.
- Return the filled crêpe to the skillet over low heat. Gently press down with a spatula to help the cheese melt, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is gooey and the edges of the crêpe are crisp.
- Carefully slide the Ham Cheese French Crêpes onto a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of black pepper for added flavor. Serve them hot.
