Ingredients
- 12 pieces ham, sliced thin
- 12 pieces fresh asparagus, trimmed and cooked
- 1 1/4 cups flour, all purpose
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 eggs, medium
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted, cooled 
 
When rolled with thinly sliced ham in a delicate crêpe, tender asparagus becomes a tasty dish for
a brunch or light lunch.
 
Directions
  • Slice 12 pieces of ham.
  • Wash and trim 12-14 stalks of tender aspargus and lay them
    in a microwave dish with 2 tablespoons of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cover the dish and microwave
    on high for 3-4 minutes or until the thick end of the stalk can be pierced with a knife. Drain.
  • Combine the flour, salt and milk in a medium bowl, beating until smooth. Blend or beat in the
    eggs and the cooled, melted butter. If there is enough time, let this mixture set in the refrigerator

for about 1 hour.
  • Place the crêpe pan over medium heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of oil in
    bottom of heated pan. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of batter in bottom of pan and distribute it evenly
    over bottom to create a very thin layer. Pour out the excess. Adjust amount of batter if
    necessary. The batter cooks very quickly (usually less than a minute) so it needs to be
    watched closely. Flip crêpe and cook on opposite side for about 15 seconds or just until it's light
    brown. (Cooking too long on either side will make the crêpe too crisp to roll.)
  • Repeat the
    process, adding a small amount of oil each time, if not using a non stick pan, and adjusting the
    heat and amount of batter to obtain the desired thickness of crêpes. Stack crêpes on a plate until
    finished.
  • To fill the crêpe, place one thin slice of ham and 2 stalks of asparagus on 1/3 of
    the crêpe and roll the crêpe up.
  • Place the filled crêpe in a shallow 9X13" baking dish and
    reheat in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes before serving. Top with the sauce or
    dressing of your choice.
