Savoury Crepes
Crepes are so easy, light and delicious. It’s one of my favourite breakfasts to make on the weekend when I have more time and I can make breakfast for my loved ones! Sweet crepes are amazing (you can use this recipe for them) but sometimes I prefer a savoury crepe that is cheesy, with a runny egg. If you’ve ever been intimidated by making crepes, try this recipe for a trial run!

Instructions
To make the crepes:
- Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add in the milk and eggs and whisk vigorously to combine, until smooth.
- Stream in the melted butter and whisk to combine.
- Heat a crepe pan on medium-low heat (check notes) for a few minutes. When it's warm, add a tbsp of butter to melt.
- Add 1/2 cup of batter to the pan and quickly spread it so that it covers the pan in a thin layer. You can add any extra batter in spots that are bare.
- Cook for 2 minutes or until the sides are getting a lil crispy and it is fully opaque.
- Carefully go around the crepe and detach the sides from the pan & flip the crepe. Cook for another 1-2 minutes - depending how brown you want it and serve immediately.
- To make a savoury crepe, after the crepes are made, lightly fry eggs in a little butter, followed by the slices of ham.
- Cover a crepe with the sauce, ham, cheese, onion, tomatoes, lettuce, fold and add the egg, then fold once more. Enjoy :)
Notes
Everyone’s stove works differently so it will take you 1-2 crepes to figure out what heat works for you, you might have to cook on low or medium.Note: everyone’s stove works differently so it will take you 1-2 crepes to figure out what heat works for you, you might have to cook on low or medium.

These are reminiscent of those frozen breakfast pockets that I used to have as a kid, except WAY better. The easy all-butter pie dough is flakey and buttery, and is the perfect vessel for fluffy scrambled eggs, bacon, green onion, cheese and a spicy chipotle sauce. These are perfect to keep in your freezer, so you can easily toss them in the oven when family is over, then everyone gets a gourmet breakfast!
