Egg, ham & cheese buckwheat crepes

Get Father's Day off to a gourmet start with these delicious, salty buckwheat crepes stuffed with cured ham, grated cheese and topped with a fried egg. 

Prepare the crepe batter the night before and chill in the refrigerator: mix together 1/2 cup buckwheat flour, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 3 eggs, 3 tablespoons melted butter, 2 cups whole milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

The next day, take the batter out and let come to room temperature. Thin with milk if necessary. Heat some butter in a non-stick skillet on medium-high. Pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the ban, and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip and cook another 30 seconds. Repeat until no batter is left.

When ready to stuff, place a cooked crepe back in the pan, and add a slice of thin cured meat (Prosciutto works well). Crack an egg on top, and sprinkle grated Swiss around the egg. When the cheese is fully melted and the egg white is set, fold up the sides of the crepe to form a square shape so you can pretty much only see the egg. Serve immediately!
