👨‍🍳 Method

For the Crepe Batter

  1. 1
    Whisk the eggs, milk and melted butter with the salt in a bowl, add the flour and mix to a smooth batter.
    BowlWhisk
  2. 2
    Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
  3. 3
    Heat a flat pan and grease lightly.

    💡A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.
  4. 4
    Pour in about 3 tbsp batter and swirl the pan into a thin, even layer.

    💡The first crêpe almost always gets tossed: it tests the heat of the pan and the amount of batter.
  5. 5
    Fry 1 minute, until the edges dry and brown lightly, flip and fry 1 more minute. Repeat until the batter is used up.

To assemble

  1. 6
    Mix the cheese, yellow cheese, Bulgarian cheese, egg, parsley, dill and black pepper into a filling.
  2. 7
    Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each crepe and fold into a log.
    💡Fold the crepe with the golden side out: it holds up during frying and the filling doesn't escape.
  3. 8
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  4. 9
    Grease a baking dish with the oil and arrange the filled crepes in it.
