Ingredients

Crepe Batter

1 cup milk
2 large eggs
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter , melted and slightly cooled
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
¾ cup all-purpose flour

Crepe Filling

16 slices deli ham
8 ounces sliced cheese , I use mozzarella or cheddar

Optional fillings and toppings: Chopped basil, Tomatoes, Spinach

Instructions

Crepe Batter

In a blender, combine 1 cup milk, 2 eggs, 2 Tablespoons butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup flour and mix 15 to 20 seconds, or until batter is smooth. Chill 30 minutes, or overnight.
Spray nonstick cooking spray onto an 8-inch frying pan. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the pan and cook over medium-low heat. Turn pan immediately from side to side to form an even circle. Cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Remove from heat and stack on a plate.

Crepe Filling

In the same frying pan over low heat, add 1 crepe. Top with 2 slices ham and cheese. Add any other desired fillings. Cook 1 minute, and fold the other half over the top (like an omelet). Cook until the cheese has melted, flip as needed to prevent burning.
Serve while hot. Add fresh tomatoes on top, if desired.

Notes

Substitute: You can substitute the ham for sliced turkey, prosciutto or your favorite meat. For the cheese, I prefer sliced mozzarella or cheddar but you could also use gruyere.

To keep warm: You can keep your cooked crepes warm by placing them on a baking sheet in the oven at 175°F until ready to serve.

Leftovers: Add cooked crepes to a container or zip-top bag and layer parchment or wax paper in between each crepe. Place in fridge until ready to enjoy.

Reheating: Heat in microwave or skillet on low until warm.
