My Favorite Crêpe with Perfectly Salty Ham and Cheese Sauce
Recipe courtesy of Alex Guarnaschelli
Level: Easy
Total: 25 min
Active: 25 min
Yield: 8 to 10 crêpes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 bay leaf
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup grated Gruyère
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus additional to garnish
Kosher salt
8 to 10 crêpes, warmed
8 to 10 slices Black Forest or French bistro ham

Directions

In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until you smell the flour and butter cooking; the mixture will be pale blonde in color, 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the bay leaf and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the milk and cook, increasing the heat to medium-high and whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens like a soup and coats the back of a spoon nicely, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and stir in the Gruyère and Parmesan. Season with salt. Cool slightly at room temperature so it thickens.

To assemble, spoon a few tablespoons of the cheese sauce in the center of a warm crêpe in a nonstick sauté pan. Sprinkle additional Parmesan over the cheese sauce and top with a folded piece of ham. Fold the crêpe in half and then in half again. Warm for 1 minute. Repeat with remaining crêpes and sauce and serve immediately.
