🛒 Ingredients:
- 1 cup (100g) of finely ground flaxseed meal *(Golden or dark flaxseeds work perfectly, or you can use a 50/50 mix).
- 5 oz (150ml) of boiling water.
* A generous pinch of sea salt and any extra spices/herbs to taste (garlic powder or oregano work great).
For the Ultimate Savory Ham & Cheese Filling:
- 2-3 tbsp of finely shredded Parmesan cheese.
- 1/2 cup of your favorite shredded melting cheese (Gouda, Cheddar, or Mozzarella).
- 2-3 slices of high-quality premium ham.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Form the Dough:** Pour your boiling water into a small saucepan over low heat. Add the finely ground flaxseed meal and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring continuously so it doesn’t burn, until the mixture heavily thickens and naturally forms into a singular, cohesive dough ball.
- Cool & Divide:** Remove the dough from the heat and let it cool down slightly until it’s safe to handle. Divide the dough into 4 equal-sized balls.
- Roll It Out:** Place one dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper (this prevents sticking). Using a rolling pin, roll it out evenly until it forms a thin, round tortilla shape. Repeat for the remaining 3 balls.
- The Dry Sear:** Heat a quality non-stick (Teflon or cast-iron) skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully peel the tortilla off the parchment paper and place it into the dry, hot pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden, then flip.
- The Melt & Fold:** While the second side is searing, scatter your shredded Parmesan cheese evenly across the entire surface of the crepe. On one half of the crepe, layer your melting cheese and top it with the ham slices.
- The Perfect Finish:** Cover the skillet with a lid for a brief minute until the cheese completely melts into a gooey texture. Using a spatula, gently fold the empty half of the crepe over the ham and cheese filling. If you like it compact, you can fold it one more time into a triangle.Your crispy, cheesy, savory Keto Ham & Cheese Crepe is ready! Serve hot and enjoy!
