Ingredients
Instructions
-
PREPARE THE CREPES
If you are using store-bought pancakes, place them on a flat surface and make sure they don't stick. For homemade crepes, prepare the batter by combining flour, eggs, milk and a pinch of salt, then cook in a non-stick skillet until thin and golden.
Tip: Let homemade crepes cool completely before filling to avoid tearing.
-
PREPARE THE FILLINGS
Lay a slice of ham on each crepe, ensuring it covers most of the surface. Sprinkle shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over the ham. Fold the edges of the crepes inward, then roll them tightly into cylinders. Place the filled crepes seam-side down on a baking dish.
Tip: Use room-temperature cheese to make it easier to distribute evenly.
-
MAKE THE SAUCE
In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the milk and a pinch of salt and pepper, stirring constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.
Tip: Stir continuously to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
-
COOK THE EGGS
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the remaining butter. Crack an egg into the skillet and cook sunny-side until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Repeat for all six eggs.
Tip: Cook one or two eggs at a time to ensure even cooking and avoid overcrowding.
-
BAKE THE CREPES
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour the prepared sauce over the rolled crepes in the baking dish, ensuring each is well coated. Sprinkle additional Gruyère cheese on top for extra flavor. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tip: Place the baking dish on the middle rack for even baking
-
SERVE
Place the baked crepes on individual plates or a serving platter. Top each crepe with a cooked sunny-side-up egg. Garnish with chopped chives for a fresh, vibrant touch. Serve immediately.
Tip: Pair with a side salad or a light soup to complete the meal.
