Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 2 tbsp fried onions

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup flour, 3/4 cup milk, and 1 egg until smooth. The batter should be thin and pourable, about the consistency of heavy cream.

  2. 2

    Melt 1 tbsp of the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in half the batter, tilting the pan to spread it thinly. Cook until the edges are golden and the top is set, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Flip the crepe and sprinkle 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese over one half. Cook until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Fold the crepe in half, then in half again to form a triangle.

  4. 4

    Transfer the crepe to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter and cheese, adding the remaining 1 tbsp butter to the pan as needed.

  5. 5

    Top the crepes with the 2 tbsp fried onions and a sprinkle of fresh chives if you have them. Serve warm.
