Total Time: 50 minutes
Course: Breakfast
Cut: Ham
Meal Type: Pork’s 1-2 Punch: Cook Once, Eat Twice

Ingredients

  • 3 cups ham shredded and warmed
  • 1 3/4 cups 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 Granny Smith apple halved cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup white Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives finely chopped

Instructions

  • Pour the milk, butter, eggs and salt in a blender. Mix until well combined. Add the flour. Mix for 15 to 20 seconds or until smooth. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Heat an 8-inch crêpe pan or a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat well with nonstick cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the pan, swirl to fully cover the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute or until crêpe begins to curl around the edges. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds or until set. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with additional cooking spray and remaining batter. Layer cooked crêpes between pieces of wax paper to prevent sticking.
  • Lay a crêpe on a clean work surface. Arrange a few slices of apple on a quarter of the crêpe; top with shredded ham. Fold the crêpe in half to cover the filling and fold in half again to create a triangular shape. Repeat with remaining crêpes, apple and ham. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and hold in a warm oven until ready to serve or up to 30 minutes.
  • For the cheese sauce, Melt the butter in a saucepan set over medium heat. Stir in the flour until well coated. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes or until pale and smooth. Whisk in the milk, a splash at a time, until smooth; stir in the mustard, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Remove from heat. Whisk in the cheese, a small handful at a time, until melted and smooth.
  • Place filled crêpes on each plate. Spoon warm cheese sauce over each serving and sprinkle with chives.
