  • Pour ¼ cup of batter, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
  • Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes.

Add the fillings (optional):

  • Place a slice of ham in the center, sprinkle with cheese, and crack an egg on top.
  • Fold the edges inward, leaving the yolk visible.
  • Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg sets.

Serve and enjoy:

  • Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot!
  • Enjoy with a side salad or a cup of French cider.
