Ham, Cheese & Asparagus Crepes ! image

Authentic French Canadian crepe! I got this recipe several years ago when I had lunch in a small cafe in Quebec City. I had never tried a crepe before but it was delicious...black forest ham, lots of melted mozzarela cheese and asparagus tips...all of that wrapped in a very light crepe (or pancake) batter...and covered with maple syrup! This recipe has become a staple in my home over the years. Can double as a breakfast or a quick dinner.....and it tastes great no matter what time of day or night this is served. This was definitely a case of love at first bite!

Time 20m

Yield 4 large crepes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 (14 ounce) can asparagus spears (warmed and drained of liquid)
8 -10 ounces black forest ham

Steps:

  • Use a non-stick frying pan (or if you don't have one, a very lightly greased pan) and heat it to medium.(I like LARGE crepes -- so I used a large non-stick frying pan -- but you can use a smaller one for smaller size crepes).
  • In a bowl, combine flour, milk, eggs, sugar, oil and salt. Beat until well blended (no lumps).
  • When the pan is hot, add 3 - 4 tbsps. of batter. Swirl the batter until the bottom is coated and part way up the side of the pan.
  • Add 1/4 of the mozzarela cheese, ham (I like to use shredded ham but you can cut up the ham into small pieces),asparagus tips.
  • Cook until the edges of the crepe start to come away from the side of the pan and the bottom is golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  • Using a spatula, slowly fold the crepe in half and repeat until all of your crepes are made. Should yield about 4 large.
  • Serve immediately with a bit of butter on top and maple syrup -- pure comfort !
