Scrambled Egg and and Crêpe Casserole

“Scrambled Egg and Crêpe Casserole is our new brunch favorite. Homemade crepes (that you can freeze ahead!) are wrapped around ham-and-cheese scrambled eggs and smothered in an rich cheese sauce—definitely company-worthy!” – Shannon Satterwhite

Southern Living magazine has done it again, by creating an absolutely DELIGHTFUL dish to serve the girlfriends when they come over to dish over brunch. This Scrambled Egg and Crêpe Casserole takes a little work, but is worth every single bite.

  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt

  • Cheese Sauce (see below)
  • Fresh Herb Crêpes (see below)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°.

2. Melt 1 Tbsp. butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add ham, and sauté 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.

3. Remove from skillet, and wipe skillet clean.

4. Melt remaining 2 Tbsp. butter in skillet over medium-low heat. Add green onions; sauté 1 minute. Add eggs, salt, and pepper, and cook, without stirring, 1 to 2 minutes or until eggs begin to set on bottom.

5. Gently draw cooked edges away from sides and across bottom of skillet to form large curds, using a spatula.

6. Repeat procedure, cooking until eggs are thickened but still moist (about 6 to 7 minutes).

7. Remove from heat, and gently fold in ham and 2 cups Cheese Sauce.

8. Spoon about 1/3 cup egg mixture down the center of each crêpe; roll up.

9. Place in a lightly greased 13- x- 9-inch baking dish (or divide among smaller dishes).
