These savory crepes filled with eggs, ham, and cheese make for a satisfying breakfast or brunch option. They are easy to make and incredibly delicious.

Ingredients: 2 large eggs. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. 1 cup milk. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/4 cup diced ham. 1/4 cup shredded cheese your choice. 2 tablespoons butter, melted.

Instructions: Mix the eggs, flour, milk, and salt in a bowl with a whisk until the batter is smooth. Melt a little butter in a nonstick skillet and add it to the pan to coat the bottom. Add a little of the crepe batter to the pan and swirl it around to cover the bottom evenly. The crepe is done when the edges begin to lift and the center is firm. Turn the crepe over and cook for one to two more minutes, until it's just beginning to turn golden. Take the cooked crepe out of the pan and do it again with the rest of the batter, adding more butter if needed. Put ham dices and cheese shreds on top of each crepe once they are all done cooking. To make triangles, fold the crepes in half and then in half again. Enjoy your tasty egg, ham, and cheese crepes while they're still hot!
