Crepe Batter Ingredients- 100g All-purpose flour
- 200ml Milk
- 3 Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 0.1 Tbsp Salt (a tiny pinch)
Topping & Cooking Ingredients- 2 Slices of 3-layer cheese (sliced cheese)
- Butter, a small amount (for greasing the pan)
- 2 Slices of 3-layer cheese (sliced cheese)
- Butter, a small amount (for greasing the pan)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, measure and prepare all the ingredients for the crepe batter. You will need 100g of flour, 200ml of milk, 3 eggs, 1 Tbsp of sugar, and 0.1 Tbsp of salt. Set aside the 2 slices of 3-layer cheese for later use.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the flour, milk, 1 egg (for the batter), salt, and sugar. Whisk or blend until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps. Be careful not to overmix, as this can develop gluten and make the crepes tough. A gentle mix is best. (The remaining 2 eggs will be used as toppings later.)
Step 3
Preheat your pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, lightly grease the entire surface with a small amount of butter using a paper towel. This prevents the batter from sticking and adds a subtle buttery flavor.
Step 4
Pour about one ladleful of the prepared crepe batter into the center of the preheated pan. Gently swirl the pan to spread the batter thinly and evenly across the surface. Thinner crepes are generally more tender and delicious.
Step 5
As the surface of the batter begins to set and small bubbles appear, carefully crack one of the remaining eggs directly onto the center of the crepe, ensuring the yolk remains intact. Placing the yolk in the center is key to the ‘sunny-side up’ style! Then, artfully arrange the 2 slices of 3-layer cheese around the edges of the crepe.
Step 6
When the edges of the crepe start to turn golden and set, use a spatula to carefully fold the four sides inward, creating a square shape. Cover the pan with a lid and continue to cook over low heat for another 1-2 minutes. This allows the egg white to cook through completely and the cheese to melt, resulting in a richer flavor. Your delicious Sunny-Side Up Cheese Crepe is now ready to enjoy!
