Description
Thin, delicate French-inspired crepes filled with a savory mixture of scrambled eggs, cheese, and sautéed vegetables. This versatile and elegant breakfast or brunch option is perfect for a satisfying meal that’s easy to customize with additional ingredients like cooked turkey or chicken.
Ingredients
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the Filling:
- 2 large eggs, scrambled
- 1/2 cup cheese (such as cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyere), shredded
- 1/2 cup sautéed vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers)
- Optional: cooked turkey or chicken, diced
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until the batter is completely smooth without lumps. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to enhance texture.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease if necessary. Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan, swirling it to cover the bottom evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden, then carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- Repeat Crepe Cooking: Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with remaining batter, stacking crepes as they cool.
- Prepare the Filling: In a separate pan, scramble the eggs gently until just set. Sauté the vegetables in a bit of oil or butter until tender. Optionally, warm diced cooked turkey or chicken if using.
- Assemble the Crepes: Spoon the scrambled eggs, cheese, sautéed vegetables, and any optional meat onto each crepe. Fold or roll the crepes to enclose the filling.
- Serve: Serve the savory crepes warm for a delicious breakfast or brunch treat.
Notes
- Let the crepe batter rest for at least 10 minutes to improve the texture and ease of cooking.
- Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite vegetables, cheeses, or proteins for variety.
- Use a non-stick pan and light grease to prevent sticking for perfect crepes every time.
- Crepes can be made ahead and kept warm in a low oven before filling.
