Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt half of the butter. Whisk the flour, milk, eggs, salt and melted butter into a smooth, runny batter and let it rest for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Crumble the white cheese with a fork and mix it with the grated kashar and finely chopped parsley for the filling.

  3. 3

    Heat a 22-24 cm nonstick pan over medium heat and wipe it with a little of the remaining butter. Pour in a ladle of batter and swirl to spread it thin.

  4. 4

    Cook each crepe for about 1 minute per side until lightly speckled; make about 12 crepes this way.

  5. 5

    Spread some filling over half of each crepe, fold in half and then in half again to make a triangle.

  6. 6

    Warm the folded crepes in the pan with the rest of the butter for 1-2 minutes per side until the cheese melts; serve 3 per person, hot.
