Instructions
1
Prep
Whisk plain flour, buckwheat flour, and 0.5 tsp salt in a bowl. Make a well, whisk in 1 egg and half the milk until smooth, gradually whisk in remaining milk and 30g melted butter until thin cream consistency. Cover and rest 30 minutes at room temperature.

Fry 1
Heat a 24cm non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tsp butter and swirl to coat. Pour in 80ml batter, tilt to cover base thinly. Cook 1-2 minutes until edges lift and underside is lacy golden, flip, cook 30 seconds. Slide onto a plate. Repeat once more with remaining batter and 1 tsp butter, stacking with parchment between each. (You will make 2 crêpes total.).

Build
Return pan to medium heat, lay one crêpe in and brush with 1 tsp Dijon mustard. Scatter half the Gruyère, top with folded ham, scatter remaining Gruyère. Cook 2 minutes until cheese melts through, fold all four edges in to form a square envelope with filling exposed in centre. Slide onto a warm plate. Repeat with second crêpe, remaining mustard, ham, and Gruyère.

Fry 2
While the second crêpe cooks, melt 16g butter in a small pan over medium heat. Crack in the remaining egg and fry 2-3 minutes until white is set and yolk remains runny.

Plate
Lay fried egg in the exposed centre square of one crêpe. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, toss with mixed leaves. Scatter chives, parsley, salt, and pepper over both crêpes. Serve with dressed leaves alongside.
