Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: French
Serves: 1 crepe
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup shredded cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for optimal mixing and cooking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the two large eggs and whisk thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Add almond flour to the whisked eggs, stirring continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter with a consistent texture.
- Incorporate the shredded cheese into the batter, mixing gently to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Season the batter with a pinch of salt, stirring to ensure complete integration of the seasoning.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-low heat, adding butter to coat the surface evenly.
- Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, pour the entire batter into the center of the pan, quickly tilting and rotating to spread the mixture into a thin, even layer.
- Cook the crepe for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to look dry and the bottom turns golden brown.
- Carefully flip the crepe using a thin spatula, cooking the opposite side for an additional 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Transfer the finished crepe to a plate, folding or rolling as desired, and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Pan Perfection: Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan and keep the heat at medium-low to prevent burning.
- Batter Technique: Tilt and rotate the pan quickly after pouring to create an even, thin crepe layer.
- Cheese Selection: Experiment with different shredded cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, or gruyère for varied flavor profiles.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve immediately while warm, and consider adding fresh herbs or a light salad for a complete meal.
- Storage Tip: If not serving immediately, you can keep the crepe warm in a low-temperature oven (200°F) for a short time.
- Troubleshooting: If the crepe tears when flipping, use a larger spatula and ensure the bottom is fully set before attempting to turn.
