    I couldn't get a close up look at the ham in this recipe, we have locally produced "toupei" ham which is lightly smoked with a fair bit of moisture, or I can also get a nicely smoked sandwich type ham from my local butcher as well as the usual, prosciutto cotto, prosciutto, Black Forest and a few others. Which one would you suggest?

    The only concern, from your description, that I would have is to not use a ham that is wet. This could make your crêpes soggy—apart from that, if you love the type of ham you are using, this can only taste better in the recipe. To conclude, if you feel the ham you choose is wet, slice it and pat it dry before using it. Hope this helps.

    Thanks Christophe for the heads up for the ham. Many of the available hams contain a lot of water but as it was Easter recently I had some left-overs in my freezer. Maybe not quite as good as Jambon Blanc but a lot better than the local deli. I've made a lot of crepes over the years and this recipe was by far the best, thanks so much! I love street food and it was great to try what Paris has to offer. Next on the list would be a Crepe Florentine - I think I could use the same recipe as for ravioli. I'm going to try and see where it leads me.

    On the topic of wet hams... if you butter sauté the ham enough to warm it and release some of its moisture, you end up with a pretty decent “delivery”! In fact, if you add a little maple syrup to the pan near the end of cooking, it adds an extra point of interest... thank you Rouxbe.com. The site has changed our COVID lifestyle for the better in every way...

    This recipe is absolute ace! Thank you. Made it for dinner sans the ham, added chopped arugula instead. My family and me loved every bit. Excellent recipe!
