Crêpe with ham, cheese and egg
Recipe for crêpe with ham, cheese and egg
This recipe for crêpes with ham, cheese and eggs could just as easily be served at a French street café. It's perfect on days when you don't have the energy to spend time in the kitchen. The filled crêpes are a simple but incredibly delicious recipe that can be whipped up in no time. You can easily vary the filling, depending on what you have in stock, but this version with ham and cheese is a sure winner. Other good combinations are spinach (fried lightly in a pan so that it collapses) and goat cheese. Or fried mushrooms, eggs and cheese. If you choose the classic combination with ham, cheese and eggs, you can also easily vary the type of ham and cheese you use. Good options for cheese are the French cheeses Comté and Emmentaler, but we can also recommend using cheddar or the Danish Vesterhavs cheese.
TIP: As an alternative to buckwheat crêpes, you can use egg wraps, sourdough pancakes or spinach pancakes
French buckwheat crêpe galette
The recipe is inspired by the French dish "Galettes de Sarrasin", which translates to buckwheat pancakes. Buckwheat crêpes are a classic in French cuisine, and they are often served this way, folded around a delicious filling. In France, they are used buckwheat crepes both in the savory and sweet kitchen. We can also recommend you add a little cane sugar to the dough for the buckwheat pancakes. The delicious crêpes also taste great as a dessert, with fruit, whipped cream or ice cream. You can also make a double portion of the dough, and first fry the crepes with cheese, ham and eggs. Then add a little sugar to the remaining dough, and then you have pancakes for a delicious dessert.
Accessories for crepes
As an accompaniment to the filled crêpes, we would recommend a classic green salad with a good oil-vinegar vinaigrette. Simple, delicious and very French. You can sprinkle some toasted nuts or seeds over the salad or add thin slices of apple or fennel, as we do in these great salads:
