Quick Egg Crepe Pocket

Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter

In a measuring jug or a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of plain flour, 1 tbsp of melted butter, and 1 egg. Begin mixing with a fork or whisk.

Step 2: Add Milk and Mix

Gradually pour in 3/4 cup of milk while continuously mixing until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 3: Prepare the Pan

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add 1 tsp of oil and use a paper towel to spread it evenly across the surface.

Step 4: Cook the Crepe

Pour half of the batter into the hot pan and swirl it around to form a thin, even circle. Let it cook on one side for about 2 minutes.

Step 5: Flip and Add Toppings

Flip the crepe over. Immediately sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese (1 tbsp) over the surface.

Step 6: Add Egg and Vegetables

Crack one egg into the center of the crepe. Arrange the chopped mushrooms, bell peppers, and halved baby tomatoes around the egg yolk.

Step 7: Season the Filling

Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the egg and vegetables according to your taste.

Step 8: Fold the Crepe

After cooking for 2-3 minutes on the lowest possible heat, carefully fold the four sides of the crepe inwards towards the center to create a square pocket, leaving the egg exposed.

Step 9: Cover and Steam

Cover the pan with a lid and cook for another 2 minutes. This will steam the top of the egg and melt the cheese completely. The egg white should be set, and the yolk cooked to your preference.

Step 10: Serve and Enjoy

Once cooked, carefully slide the egg crepe pocket onto a plate. Serve immediately while hot.

• Ensure the pan is on low heat when adding the egg and toppings to prevent the crepe from burning.

• For a fully cooked yolk, keep the pan covered for an extra minute or two.

• You can also cook the crepe under an oven grill for a few minutes to set the egg on top.

• Add other vegetables like chopped onions, spinach, or olives.

• Instead of a whole egg, you can pour a whisked and seasoned egg into the center.

• Use different types of cheese like cheddar or a cheese blend.
