Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (, divided)
  • 1 & 1/2 cups full fat ricotta cheese (, strained of all moisture if wet)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (, softened)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 & 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (, divided, for pan)
  • jam (, for serving)
  • powdered sugar (, for serving)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Whisk in the salt, sugar, and flour until well combined and no lumps remain; set batter aside to rest for 20 minutes (don’t skip this step!) Whisk once more before cooking.Warm up a nonstick 10-inch pan over medium heat. Melt about 1 teaspoon of butter; when it starts to foam, ladle in 1/4 cup of batter in the center of the pan.Immediately lift the pan from the burner and swirl it so the batter coats the bottom of the pan. Replace the pan on the burner and cook the crepe until the batter is just set and the underside is lightly golden, about 1 minute. Using a spatula or your fingers, loosen the sides of the crepe and gently flip in the pan; cook for another 45 seconds.Transfer crepes to a plate. Repeat until all batter is gone.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium bowl, beat together the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, egg, powdered sugar, and vanilla with a handheld electric mixer until thoroughly combined.
