Ham and Egg Crepe Squares

I am a complete sucker for any recipe that does something out of the ordinary with eggs…provided that it stays within my weekday “must be able to be made in a reasonable amount of time rule.” 

I love and adore eggs (which works out so conveniently with my love and adoration of bacon), but there’s only so many poached/fried/scrambled eggs a girl can eat, and variety is the spice of life, and all that. 

So when I heard that there was such a thing as crepes that are baked with ham and an egg inside, I knew this had my name all over it. 

I have to admit, I was a teeny bit intimidated by the whole making of the crepe part, but as I was getting ready the Southern husband commented that it was probably like pancakes…the first one would be a bust, and then I would get the hang of it and it would all go just fine.

I snippily reminded him who the food blogger/expert chef was in the house, and he smartly retreated to the other end of the house.  Then I started making the crepes.  The first one was a complete bust, and then I got the hang of it.  

At which point I went to the other end of the house and said he kind of maybe had sort of been right, and kissed the top of his Southern head. And then I turned them into ham and egg crepe squares!

Here’s how you make ham and egg crepe squares!

Put a cup of flour, a tablespoon of sugar, a quarter teaspoon of salt, a cup and a half of milk, four eggs and 3 tablespoons of melted butter in a blender, push that button and blend on high for 30 seconds. Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.

Next! Heat a 12 inch non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with a little more butter. Add 1/3 cup of the batter and swirl the skillet around to completely cover the bottom. Cook until the underside of the crepe is very lightly starting to brown, about 2 minutes.

Loosen edge of crepe with spatula (I love an offset spatula for this so you can loosen it all the way to the middle) and then either using a large spatula or your fingers, lift it up and flip it over.

Cook it another 1-2 minutes and then slide out of skillet onto wax paper. Repeat until all crepes are done, putting wax paper between each one. You should have about 9 when you are done.

Now to make the squares! Preheat your oven to 350 and place crepes on a rimmed baking sheet (you might need more than one baking sheet). Place a thin ham slice in center of the crepe and carefully crack an egg onto the ham.

Fold the edges of crepe toward center, using the egg white as a kind of glue. Season with salt and pepper, pop them in the oven and bake until egg white is set, about 10-12 minutes. (If you like your eggs cooked more firmly, leave them in the oven for another 3-5 minutes.)

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve at once.

This is one of the best uses of a carton of eggs that I know. So fancy, so easy, and guaranteed to bring a smile to your breakfast, lunch or dinner table!
