Savory crepes with ham and MEALUP Cheddar
Jump to recipeSavory crepes with ham and cheese are ready in 25 minutes and give you 46 g of protein per serving, with MEALUP Cheddar mixed right into the filling. They come together fast, even on a weekday.
The batter is the same as for sweet crepes. The difference is the filling: ham, kashkaval (Bulgarian yellow cheese) and MEALUP Cheddar, rolled or folded, then briefly warmed so the cheese melts.
MEALUP Cheddar is mixed into the cold filling before the crepes are closed, so the cheddar flavor reaches every bite, along with the ham.

Preparation
- Make the batterWhisk the eggs with the milk and salt. Add the flour gradually, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Cook the crepesHeat a thin film of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Pour in a ladle of batter, swirl the pan to spread it thin and cook the crepe on both sides until golden. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
- Make the fillingCut the ham into thin strips and grate the kashkaval. Mix them in a bowl with 4 servings (120 g) of MEALUP Cheddar, 1 serving (30 g) per person.
- Fill the crepesPut 2 tablespoons of the filling in the middle of each crepe.
- Fold or rollFold each crepe in half and in half again, or roll it up, sealing the filling inside.
- Warm and serveReturn the filled crepes to the pan for 1 minute on each side, just long enough for the kashkaval to melt. Serve warm.
Tips
- You can make the batter up to 1 day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge.
- Out of ham? Diced cooked chicken breast or roast turkey works well in the filling too.
- Leftover crepes reheat easily in a pan the next day.
MEALUP Cheddar is mixed straight into the cold ham and kashkaval filling before the crepes are closed and warmed through. That way you taste the cheddar in every bite of filling.
Protein is calculated from USDA FoodData Central and the MEALUP label (20 g in 1 serving).
