Pancakes or crepes are a staple breakfast or brunch dish for many of us. This particular recipe takes this classic dish and jazzes it up with a savory filling made with ham and walnuts. The flavors are rich and nutty, with a slight hint of nutmeg. The filling pairs perfectly with the light and fluffy pancakes, making for a satisfying morning meal. This is a perfect recipe to use for entertaining guests or for a special weekend breakfast.

Instructions

1.Chop the ham and walnuts into small pieces.
2.Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Continue cooking for a minute or two to get rid of the flour taste.
3.Gradually add in hot milk, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens.
4.Add in the chopped ham, walnuts, and grated Gruyere cheese. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, to taste. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
5.To make the pancakes, preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and swirl to evenly coat. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the pancake is set and the edges start to brown. Use a spatula to flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6.To assemble, spoon the ham and walnut filling onto the center of each pancake. Fold the edges of the pancake over the filling and serve.
