Savory pancakes with bacon, egg and maple syrup

Crêpes salées au bacon, œuf et sirop d'érable

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 15 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Crepes :

  • 250 ml (1 cup) white flour
  • 1 egg
  • 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) milk
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) melted butter

Trim :

  • 4 eggs
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 125 ml (1/2 cup) grated cheddar cheese
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grilled asparagus (optional)

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, egg, milk, and salt until smooth. Add the melted butter and let sit for a few minutes.
  2. In a lightly buttered, hot pan, pour a ladleful of batter and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until the crepe is golden brown. Repeat for the remaining crepes.
  3. In a skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove any excess fat, leaving just a thin layer, then cook the eggs in the same skillet until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  4. Place a crepe in a clean skillet over low heat. Top with grated cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and a fried egg in the center.
  5. Lightly fold the edges of the crepe inwards and cook for 3 more minutes so that the cheese melts and the crepe takes on a nice texture.
  6. Drizzle with maple syrup and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, with grilled asparagus if desired.
