I had foraged leeks and fresh local free range eggs and wanted to do something different with them. I modified an Epicurious recipe to make these crepes dairy-free . The crepes are good with other fillings as well.

Ingredients
  • Batter:
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon buckwheat flour
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon margarine, melted
  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 cups soymilk
  • 3 eggs
  • Filling:
  • 8 eggs
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 ounces of ramps (12-14 ramps)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Oil or margarine and a non-stick frying pan or crepe pan

Directions
  1. First make the batter. Sift together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl mix together the wet ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and beat until smooth. Cover and chill the batter for 30 minutes.
  2. Turn on broiler and place an oven rack in the top position. Lay out a sheet pan or cookie sheet.
  3. Chop bacon and cook until crispy, drain and set aside. Slice and wash the ramps keeping the green tops separate from the white bottoms. Cook the ramp bottoms in a pan with the olive oil over medium low heat. When the bottoms are softened add the green tops and toss. Remove the pan from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Make a crepe by heating the non-stick skillet over medium high heat. When the pan is hot coat the inside with oil or margarine. Dump a ¼ cup of crepe batter and immediately swirl to coat the pan evenly. Cook until the edges dry out and the top is mostly set. Loosen the crepe around the edges with a spatula and then flip.
  5. As soon as it is flipped, add 1/8th of the cooked ramps in the middle of the crepe and crack an egg on top. Sprinkle on 1/8 of the bacon and flip up the sides of the crepe to form a rough square with the egg exposed in the center. Slide the filled crepe out of the pan and onto the sheet pan. Repeat 8 more times.
  6. Place the sheet pan under the broiler and cook until the egg whites are set (30 seconds to 1 minute). Plate with salt and freshly ground black pepper on top.

Try these with other crepe fillings!
My son liked them rolled up with Earth Balance margarine and cinnamon sugar.


By "them" I mean a plain crepe.
