Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
14 large eggs
1 3/4 cups whole milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter (4 tablespoons melted), plus more for baking dish
12 thin slices French ham
3/4 pound Gruyere, grated

Steps:

  • Whisk together flours and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a medium bowl. Whisk in 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 2 tablespoons melted butter; whisk until smooth. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Remove batter from refrigerator and whisk in remaining 1/4 cup milk.
  • Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon melted butter and use a crumpled-up paper towel to spread evenly. Add a scant 1/4 cup batter and quickly swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Cook until edges begin to dry, about 1 minute. Using your fingers or tongs, turn crepe, continue cooking about 15 seconds more; transfer to a plate and keep warm in the oven. Repeat process with remaining melted butter and batter, stacking each crepe on top of one another as you work.
  • Using a fork or a whisk, blend remaining 12 eggs, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add eggs and begin stirring with a wooden spoon. Slowly drag the spoon around the bottom and sides of the pan until thickened, about 5 minutes. Continue stirring until eggs have formed loose, moist curds, 3 to 5 minutes more. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; set aside. Place a crepe, dark side down, on work surface. Layer a slice of ham, some of the Gruyere, and about 1/4 cup eggs on top of crepe. Roll crepe and place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat process with remaining crepes. Transfer baking dish to oven and bake for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of buckwheat, but these crepes were surprisingly good. The buckwheat flavor was subtle and the crepes were light and fluffy. The filling was also delicious. I used a combination of ham, cheese, and sautéed onions.
