- Place crepes onto the prepared baking sheet. Add ham-veggie mixture to the center of each crepe. Crack an egg carefully over ham mixtures. Fold edges of crepes inward.

Steps:
- Whisk together flours and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a medium bowl. Whisk in 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 2 tablespoons melted butter; whisk until smooth. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Remove batter from refrigerator and whisk in remaining 1/4 cup milk.
- Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon melted butter and use a crumpled-up paper towel to spread evenly. Add a scant 1/4 cup batter and quickly swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Cook until edges begin to dry, about 1 minute. Using your fingers or tongs, turn crepe, continue cooking about 15 seconds more; transfer to a plate and keep warm in the oven. Repeat process with remaining melted butter and batter, stacking each crepe on top of one another as you work.
- Using a fork or a whisk, blend remaining 12 eggs, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add eggs and begin stirring with a wooden spoon. Slowly drag the spoon around the bottom and sides of the pan until thickened, about 5 minutes. Continue stirring until eggs have formed loose, moist curds, 3 to 5 minutes more. Remove from heat; set aside.
- Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
- Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; set aside. Place a crepe, dark side down, on work surface. Layer a slice of ham, some of the Gruyere, and about 1/4 cup eggs on top of crepe. Roll crepe and place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat process with remaining crepes. Transfer baking dish to oven and bake for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
STUFFED CREPES WITH EGGS, CHEDDAR, HAM AND VEGGIES
A great way to get your children cooking is by including them in the preparation of a weekend family breakfast or brunch. This can be a simple and fun way to involve the whole family. The more kids are exposed to cooking the more fun they will find it. The Registered Dietitians at Dairy Farmers of Canada have developed recipes that identify appropriate steps for parents and kids to divide and conquer meal preparation.

CREPES COMPLET ( CHEESE, HAM, AND EGG)
This is a classic French filling for a meal or snack crepe. I don't like fried eggs, but I like the egg in this. The trick is to get the egg perfectly cooked so that it is cooked through, but still soft and rich. Of course, you can also fill crepes with just ham and cheese, or cheese and vegetables with egg. Cooking time listed here does not include cooking the crepes.

Steps:
- Lay the crepe flat on a pan or griddle over medium heat.
- Arrange the cheese and ham on the crepe - make a nest for the egg, and also think about how you plan to fold the crepe and arrange the filling accordingly.
- Break the egg onto the crepe.
- Cook for a few minutes until the egg whites are white but very tender, and the yolk cooked but still runny - if you like, fold the crepe and cook for a few minutes on the other side.
- Remove the crepe to a plate.
- Garnish with minced parsley, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and lightly grease 2 baking sheets with butter.
- Add the milk, granulated sugar, 2 of the eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour and 2 tablespoons of the butter and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. (See Cook's Note.)
- Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush with butter, add 1/2 cup of the batter and tilt the skillet to swirl the batter evenly over the skillet. Cook until the bottom of the crepe is firm and the edges lift from the skillet, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is firm, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cover with a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the skillet with butter each time. Wipe out the skillet after the last crepe and reserve for later use.
- Transfer a crepe to a work surface and top with 1/2 cup of the cheese, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border all the way around. Top with 2 slices of ham. Fold the top and bottom borders in toward the center, pressing the crepe into the ham so that it sticks. Repeat with the right and left borders to create a square. Transfer the crepe to one of the prepared baking sheets using a spatula. Repeat with remaining crepes, cheese, and ham. Bake until the crepes are warm and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Crack the remaining 6 eggs into the skillet. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes.
- Top each crepe with a fried egg. Sprinkle with chives before serving, or sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve with red currant jelly.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the crepes from sticking and make them easier to flip.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat: If the skillet is too hot, the crepes will cook too quickly and may burn. If it's too cold, they won't cook evenly.
- Pour the batter into the skillet in a thin layer: This will help the crepes cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too thick.
- Cook the crepes for 1-2 minutes per side: Don't overcook them, or they will become dry and brittle.
- Fill the crepes with your favorite fillings: You can use ham, vegetables, eggs, cheese, or whatever else you like.
- Serve the crepes immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
