Freezing and Thawing Egg Ham and Cheese Crepes:
To freeze, wrap each pocket in parchment paper and place them in a single layer in a FoodSaver® Bag. Use the PulseVacTM option to remove the desired amount of air. Before serving, thaw them in the fridge or microwave in a single layer on high for 1-2 minutes, for 2-4 pockets, just until they are thawed. Then, sauté them in butter over medium/low heat for 3 minutes per side.
How to Make Perfect Crepes:
- In the bowl of a blender, combine all ingredients for crepes in the order listed. Blend until smooth (1 min). Scrape down the sides with a spatula if you see any flour clinging to the walls of your blender.
- Over medium/low heat, melt a dot of butter in a good non-stick skillet. Add batter and quickly swirl to cover the bottom (about 3-4 Tbsp for a medium pan or 5-6 Tbsp for a large pan). Fill in any gaps with more batter as needed. Saute until golden on each side (1 min per side) then place on a cutting board to cool. Once crepes are at room temp, they can be stacked.
How to Assemble Breakfast Crepe Pockets:
- Melt 1/2 Tbsp butter in a large non-stick pan and sauté your scrambled eggs. Cook until fluffy and still somewhat moist. Set aside to cool.
- Brush one side of a crepe lightly with Dijon mustard, place a generous pinch of shredded cheese in the center then top with ham, eggs, and more cheese. Fold the top over and tuck it under the egg slightly. Fold in the sides and roll to close. Repeat with remaining crepes.
- To serve right away, sauté in butter 3 min per side over med/low heat until golden brown on both sides and warmed through. Serve plain or with diced tomatoes, avocado, and hot sauce.
Freezing and Thawing Instructions:
- To freeze, wrap each pocket in parchment paper then place in a freezer-safe bag. Before serving, thaw in the fridge or microwave in a single layer on high for 1 to 2 min for 2-4 pockets just until thawed, then sauté in butter over med/low heat for 3 min per side.
Don’t use a scratched-up non-stick pan that’s seen better days; it’s time for an upgrade. If your first crepe turns out a bit less attractive, don’t worry—it happens to the best of us! It’s also okay to freeze them without parchment paper, but ensure they are stored in a single row, and avoid stacking them without parchment paper.
