Here’s a simple recipe for Savory Crêpes (Crêpes Salées):
Ingredients for the Crêpes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- A pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Filling Suggestions:
You can fill your savory crêpes with a variety of ingredients such as:
- Cheese (e.g., Gruyère, cheddar, or goat cheese)
- Ham or turkey slices
- Sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers
- Eggs (fried or scrambled)
- Smoked salmon and cream cheese
- Avocado slices
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crêpe Batter:
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk and melted butter.
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the flour while whisking until you get a smooth batter. Let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- Cook the Crêpes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour a small amount of batter (about ¼ cup) into the pan, swirling it around to cover the surface evenly with a thin layer.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute. Repeat for the remaining batter.
- Add the Filling:
- Once the crêpe is cooked, add your desired filling (cheese, ham, veggies, etc.) onto one half of the crêpe.
- Fold the crêpe over the filling, then fold again into quarters or roll it up.
- Serve:
- Serve hot with a side of salad or as a light meal.
Enjoy your crêpes salées!
