Cooking Steps
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in a small microwaveable bowl or in a small pot over low heat.
- Meanwhile, whisk together 3/4 cup flour, 2 tsp sugar and 1/4 tsp garlic salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk in 1/2 cup milk, two eggs and melted butter until combined.
- Whisk in 1/2 cup water until smooth. (NOTE: The batter will be very thin.) Set aside.
- Cut bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch strips.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.** Remove the pan from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. Reserve 1 tbsp fat in pan, then carefully discard remaining.
- Reheat the same pan over medium heat. When hot, add onions. Season with 1/4 tsp garlic salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onions are tender, 3-4 min. Transfer onions to a small bowl.
- Carefully wipe pan clean with paper towels.
- Heat the pan over medium. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
- Tilt the pan up on an angle, then scoop 1/3 cup batter into the lower half of the pan. Immediately move the pan in a circular motion to spread batter until it evenly covers the bottom of the pan. Cook until crêpe begins to brown and the edges start to peel off easily, 1-2 min. Flip crêpe with a spatula, then continue to cook for another 30 sec-1 min.
- Transfer crepe to a plate, then repeat with 1/2 tbsp butter and 1/3 cup batter until all batter is used.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high heat. Add a finished crêpe to the hot pan, then sprinkle with 11/2 tbsp cheese, 1 tbsp onions and 1 tbsp bacon.
- Cook until cheese melts, 1-2 mins. Fold crêpe in half then transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining crêpes, cheese, onions and bacon.
- When crêpes are finished, reheat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp butter, then crack in remaining eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover and pan-fry until egg whites have set, 2-3 min.** (NOTE: The yolks will still be runny.)
- Divide crêpes between plates, then top each with an egg.
- Drizzle maple syrup over top, if desired.
