Conclusion
The creamy mustard sauce just works amazingly with this ham and mushroom crepe. It is such a homey flavor and it makes for a wonderful breakfast, brunch or even dinner dish.
I don’t think any additional filling is necessary. It works just the way it is. My whole family loves this crepe after a long day at work and school and it fills their stomachs every time.
I love this crepe batter and make batches a head of time. It keeps in the fridge well for up to three days. And the mustard sauce I usually whip up the day before to save some time.
You can even freeze your unfilled, cooked crepes in a freezer safe bag for quite a while. Reheating is a snap. Just place in the oven for about seven minutes at 350 degrees and they are ready to be topped.
Some people hand mix their crepe batter but I highly recommend using a blender or food processor. The key to a great crepe is a smooth batter and you just can’t get there mixing by hand.
