HAM AND BRIE CREPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a small baking dish; set aside.

HAM AND BRIE CREPES

Steps:

• For the crepes: Add the eggs, milk, club soda and a pinch of salt to a blender and process until completely combined. Pour in the 3 tablespoons melted butter, then add the flour and blend until smooth. The mixture should be like VERY loose pancake batter. If the mixture is a little thick, add a little more milk. Let the batter sit for at least 30 minutes before using.
• Melt about 1/2 teaspoon butter in a small nonstick saute pan over medium heat. The butter should coat the bottom of the pan; if there is a lot of excess, wipe it out with a paper towel. Keep the paper towel handy in case you need it again (you will).
• Fill a 2-ounce ladle almost to the top with batter and pour it into the preheated pan, tipping and rolling the pan as you ladle the batter to evenly cover the bottom. This will take a little practice; even when you are an experienced crepe maker the first couple always get wasted. Accept it and move on.
• When the edges of the crepe begin to pull away from the edges of the pan and the bottom begins to brown a little, turn the crepe over and cook it for about 1 minute on the other side. Remove the crepe from the pan to a plate and let cool. Stack the crepes as they are cooked between parchment paper squares. Repeat this process until all the batter is used, wiping the pan with your paper towel or melting a little more butter in the pan as needed.
• For the ham and Brie crepes: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Divide the ham and cheese evenly among 8 crepes (save the remaining crepes for another use). Roll each crepe and place on a sheet pan fitted with a rack. Bake to melt the cheese and warm the ham, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil to coat. Crack the eggs in the skillet (you can do this in batches if you prefer). Cook until the whites are just set, a minute or two. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Whisk to combine the shallots, vinegar, Dijon, and 1/2 cup olive oil in a medium bowl. Dress the greens lightly and set aside.
• Plate 2 crepes on each of 4 serving plates and top each with 1 egg and a handful of the dressed greens. Enjoy!

HAM & BRIE STRATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir until mushrooms are golden brown and onion is tender, 5-7 minutes. Add spinach and garlic; cook until spinach is wilted, 1-2 minutes longer., Transfer mushroom mixture to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Add bread, ham and cheese., In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour over bread. Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving., Make-Ahead: Refrigerate unbaked strata, covered, several hours or overnight. To use, preheat oven to 375°. Remove strata from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, as directed.

HAM AND CHEESE CREPES

Steps:

• Add flour, milk, eggs, and melted butter to a blender and process until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Set batter aside for at least 20 minutes.
• Heat 1 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Coat a crepe pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat with about 1 teaspoon of the melted butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into the pan, swirling the pan to thinly coat the entire bottom. Cook until small brown spots appear on the bottom of the crepe, about 2 minutes.
• Loosen crepe carefully from the pan using a spatula and gently flip to brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Slide crepe onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, buttering the pan as needed and stacking crepes between pieces of parchment or waxed paper.
• Assemble crepes, one at a time, in the still-warm pan; spread some mustard over one half, cover mustard with some ham slices, and top with Gruyere cheese. Fold the other side over the filling, pressing down slightly, and heat briefly just until the cheese starts to melt. Fold crepe in half again. Each finished crepe should end up about 1/4 the size of the original.
