Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Cooked ham, diced or sliced
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
• 1 as needed Butter or cooking spray, for greasing the pan

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until smooth. The batter should be thin and lump-free. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the batter rests, prepare the filling by combining the diced ham, shredded Gruyère cheese, heavy cream, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until evenly incorporated and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick crepe pan or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

Step 4

Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan, tilting and rotating the pan quickly to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

Step 5

Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes with parchment paper between each to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

To assemble, place a crepe on a flat surface and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the ham and cheese filling onto one half of the crepe. Fold the crepe in half, then fold it again to create a triangle. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.

Step 8

Arrange the filled crepes on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is warm.

Step 9

Remove the crepes from the oven and transfer them to serving plates. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
