Savory ham-filled crêpes with creamy cheese béchamel, served golden and crisp with a refreshing green salad.
There’s something irresistibly cozy about a plate of warm, golden crêpes filled with creamy cheese béchamel and tender slices of ham. This classic French-inspired dish brings together simple pantry staples and transforms them into a comforting main course that feels both homely and elegant. Paired with a bright green salad, it strikes the perfect balance between richness and freshness.
The heart of this recipe lies in its silky béchamel—slow-cooked for depth, enriched with parmesan (or any cheese you fancy), and seasoned to perfection. Wrapped inside soft, lightly sweetened crêpes, the filling becomes melt-in-your-mouth delicious after a gentle pan-browning that gives each roll a beautifully crisp exterior. It’s the kind of dish that makes you slow down and savour every bite.
To cut through the richness, a simple green salad dressed with olive oil and white balsamic vinegar adds a refreshing contrast. The crisp lettuce leaves provide crunch and brightness, turning this into a complete and satisfying meal. Whether you're planning a weekend brunch or a comforting weeknight dinner, these crêpes are a delightful choice.
This dish brings together savoury, creamy, and fresh elements in one harmonious plate. The crêpes are easy to make, the béchamel is forgiving, and the whole assembly process is surprisingly fun. Plus, the leftovers (if you have any!) reheat wonderfully. A comforting, cheesy classic that’s always a crowd-pleaser.
