Ingredients

Crepe batter:

• 1 cup flour
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 cup milk

Béchamel sauce:

• 0.5 oz butter
• 0.5 oz flour
• 1 cup boiling milk
• salt
• pepper
• nutmeg
• 0.5 cup grated cheese
• 2 slices ham

Cooking:

• 1.5 tbsp butter
• sunflower oil

Materials

• Plastic wrap
• Paper towels

Preparation

• Crepe batter:
  Mix the flour and salt. Add the eggs and mix well. Add the oil and mix again.
• Gradually add the milk while mixing until you have a smooth batter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  
• Heat a large pan over medium heat. Use a paper towel to apply a little oil to the pan. Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter evenly, and let it cook for about 2 minutes.
• Flip the crepe and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, then set aside. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  
• Béchamel sauce:
  Bring the milk to a boil. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. When it starts to sizzle, add the flour all at once and whisk.
• Cook the roux for 2 minutes without letting it brown!
  
• Add the boiling milk and stir until you achieve a smooth texture. Remove from heat and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
• Add the grated cheese and diced ham, and mix well.
  
• Stuff the crepes:
  Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of a crepe. Fold one edge towards the center, then fold the top and bottom edges, and continue folding to form a rectangle.
• Melt the butter with olive oil in a pan. Place the crepes seam side down in the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side over medium heat.
  
• Cook all the stuffed crepes and serve with a small salad. Enjoy!
