Instructions
1
Blend Batter Ingredients
Start by blending together the milk, flour, eggs, cilantro, melted butter, and chile-garlic sauce until the batter is smooth and really thin—this should take about a minute. Let it rest for at least half an hour while you get other things ready.
2
Cook the crepe batter
Heat up a crepe pan or a small skillet over medium heat. Brush a tablespoon of melted butter around the pan, then pour in about half a cup of the batter. Lift the pan and tilt it around so the batter spreads out evenly into a nice round shape. Cook until you see little brown spots forming on the bottom, which usually takes a minute or two.
3
Flip and Stack Crepes
Gently loosen the edges with a spatula and flip the crepe to cook the other side for another 30 seconds to a minute. Slide the finished crepe onto a plate and keep going with the rest of the batter, adding more butter as needed. Stack the crepes as you go.
4
Whisk eggs and milk
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth, then stir in the cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.
5
Saut Veggies and Ham
Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño and cook until everything softens, about three minutes. Add the ham and cook for another couple of minutes. Turn the heat down low, stir in a tablespoon of melted butter, then pour in the egg mixture. Keep stirring until the eggs are softly scrambled but not runny, around 3 to 5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat.
6
Roll Filled Crepes
Spread about a quarter cup of the scrambled eggs across the bottom third of each crepe, then roll them up like little jelly rolls. Serve warm and enjoy!
