Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 large eggs, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
½ cup butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
½ cup warm water
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled to lukewarm
nonstick cooking spray
4 large eggs
¼ pound sliced deli ham

Steps:

  • Prepare hollandaise sauce: Separate eggs; reserve egg whites for the filling. Combine egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon, and hot pepper sauce in a blender. Cover and blend for 5 seconds. Set blender on high speed and pour in melted butter in a thin stream; it should thicken almost immediately. Place the blender container in a pan of hot tap water to keep sauce warm until needed.
  • Mix flour, milk, warm water, 3 eggs, and sugar for crepes together in a bowl. Whisk in melted butter until smooth.
  • Heat a 6- to 8-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup crepe batter into the hot pan; tilt and swirl the pan to coat with batter. Cook until edges are browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pick up the edge with a fork, grab with both hands, peel, and flip crepe over in one motion. You may use a spatula but be careful not to smash the crepe as it's delicate. Cook until the other side is browned, about 2 minutes more. Remove crepe and set aside in a warmer, oven, or double boiler to keep warm while you cook remaining crepes.
  • Prepare filling: Spray a large skillet with cooking spray; warm over medium-high heat. Whisk reserved egg whites with 4 eggs; pour into the skillet. Cook and stir until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Heat ham in the same skillet until warm.
  • Put some eggs and ham in each crepe. Roll them up and serve 2 per person with hollandaise drizzled on top.
