Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups skim milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 8 ounces low sodium ham, sliced thin
• 1 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup reduced-fat Swiss cheese, shredded
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 as needed olive oil or non-stick spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the milk, whisking until smooth.

Step 2

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the melted butter until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours to let it rest.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly brush with olive oil or spray with non-stick spray.

Step 5

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting it in a circular motion to coat the surface evenly.

Step 6

Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the underside is golden brown. Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 1 minute until lightly browned on the other side.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm. Repeat the process with remaining batter.

Step 8

Once all crepes are cooked, fill each crepe with 1 ounce of low sodium ham, a few tablespoons of cheddar and Swiss cheeses, and a sprinkle of black pepper.

Step 9

Roll or fold the crepe gently and place it in a warm oven (around 200°F) to keep them warm while preparing the rest.

Step 10

Serve the crepes warm, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs such as chives or parsley.
