Crêpe au Jambon/Fromage/Oeufs (French Pancake with Ham, Cheese and Eggs)

?Crêpe? is a thin pancake made with wheat flour or buckwheat flour, similar to a maida dosa. It is one of the widely spread national dish in France, traditionally served with cider on festive occasions and which can be found very commonly, throughout the year in two versions, either sweetened crêpes, like simply topped with some sugar or chocolate or jams or flambéed with a liquor ?Grand Marnier? and served for desserts or 4° clock snacks and an unsweetened savoury version served as a complete meal, like the example here under?. It needs only some basic ingredients that we always have in the pantry but at the same time very nutritious for children and believe me even the little ones who drag to finish their meals every day will devour it within minutes :)

Ingredients (for about 20 thin unsweetened pancakes):

250g all purpose flour
250 ml milk
250 ml Beer
3 eggs
2 tbsp melted butter
½ tsp salt
Butter for frying

For the accompaniment:

Ham
Eggs
Grated cheese


Method:

Put the flour in a bowl and make a well in the middle, add half of the liquids (beer and milk) and stir with a spatula starting from the middle until you get a smooth paste (you may also use a robot for doing this).

Beat the eggs nicely and add it to the above mixture while stirring. Add the salt and the melted butter and continue stirring.

Add the remaining liquid (beer and milk) and stir thoroughly until you get a smooth fluid mixture. Cover and leave it at room temperature for about an hour or two.

Heat a pan and spread some butter, pour a little pancake dough, spread it evenly on the surface of the pan and cook over medium heat for a few seconds. Flip over and cook the other side too.

Add some ham and break an egg or two on the crêpe and sprinkle some cheese over it. When the eggs are done, transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle some freshly ground pepper and salt and enjoy!
Bon appétit!
