Crepes Complet ( Cheese, Ham, and Egg)
"This is a classic French filling for a meal or snack crepe. I don't like fried eggs, but I like the egg in this. The trick is to get the egg perfectly cooked so that it is cooked through, but still soft and rich. Of course, you can also fill crepes with just ham and cheese, or cheese and vegetables with egg. Cooking time listed here does not include cooking the crepes."

ingredients
- 1 prepared crepe (I like Basic Whole Wheat French Crepes)
- 1⁄3 - 1⁄2 cup swiss cheese or 1/3-1/2 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1 slice ham (or several small slices)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional)
directions
- Lay the crepe flat on a pan or griddle over medium heat.
- Arrange the cheese and ham on the crepe - make a nest for the egg, and also think about how you plan to fold the crepe and arrange the filling accordingly.
- Break the egg onto the crepe.
- Cook for a few minutes until the egg whites are white but very tender, and the yolk cooked but still runny - if you like, fold the crepe and cook for a few minutes on the other side.
- Remove the crepe to a plate.
- Garnish with minced parsley, if desired.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in Los Angeles, and there are really great farmer's markets here, and corner stores featuring foods of many nations. I try to take advantage of these resources by using fresh seasonal produce and trying foods from different cultures. I don't exactly have the problem of not being able to find exotic ingredients; more often, I see things in the local stores (lotus root! passionfruit! chayote!) that turn out to be delicious when I finally learn how to prepare them. Interested in expanding my repertoire of techniques and cuisines, I finally took up my sister - Recipezaar member Roosie - on her recommendation to visit this site. I hear our parents use it too sometimes, but they don't seem to have figured out how to write reviews. My culinary pet peeve is when people stir rice while it's cooking, thereby making it gummy.
