Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a blender, combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp melted butter, and 1/4 tsp salt. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Let rest for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat a 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter the pan. Pour in 1/4 cup of batter, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook until edges are golden, about 1 minute. Flip and cook 30 seconds more. Repeat with remaining batter to make 6 crepes.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tbsp flour and cook for 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup milk and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.

  4. 4

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Place a crepe on a plate, sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese in the center, fold in half, then fold in half again to form a triangle. Place in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining crepes and cheese.

  5. 5

    Pour the white sauce over the crepes, spreading to cover. Sprinkle any remaining cheese on top. Bake until hot and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

  6. 6

    Optional: sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives before serving.
