I found a spiral ham on sale for 99 cents a pound. Of course, I couldn’t resist picking it up. Do you know how many meals you can make with a ham? One of my family’s favorite ways to have ham is with this easy ham and cheese crepes recipe. The crepes require only a few basic ingredients and come together quickly. Better yet, they can be frozen for days when you’re in a hurry.
Easy Ham and Cheese Crepes Recipe
While you can use just ham and cheese as the filling, I usually amp it up a little by adding different veggies. Some of my favorites include sauteed onions, peppers, and mushrooms, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices.

- Crepes Recipe:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cups cubed cooked ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Optional:
- Sauteed onions
- Sauteed green peppers
- Sauteed mushrooms
- Diced Tomatoes
- Avocado Slices
- How to Make the Crepes:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the milk, water, eggs, salt, and butter. Mix until the batter is well blended.
- Add the flour, 1/2 cup at time, stirring after each addition. The batter may still have a few small lumps in it.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 cup batter to the pan. Allow the crepe to cook for approximately one minute, then flip with a spatula.
- Cook for an additional 30 seconds to one minute. Remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a dish to keep warm.
- Repeat with the remaining crepes, coating the pan with cooking spray after each crepe.
- When the crepes have finished cooking, warm the ham in the skillet for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add ham to each crepe and sprinkle shredded cheese over the ham.
- Add additional toppings, if desired.
Cooking Tips:
*Make it gluten-free by substituting one to one gluten-free baking mix for the all-purpose flour.
*To freeze crepes: Separate each crepe with a piece of wax paper or parchment paper. Place the crepes in an airtight plastic freezer bag before placing them in the freezer. When ready to use, thaw the crepes in the refrigerator and then microwave each crepe for 15 seconds before serving.
*Crepes can be frozen for up to two months.
*Because the crepes will cook quickly, prepare any fillings you would like to use in advance.
*To keep tomatoes from becoming soggy, place them on a piece of paper towel and pat them gently to dry.
*Use your favorite shredded cheese in this recipe. Good choices include Parmesan, cheddar, Italian blend, Mozzarella, or Colby Jack.
