Savory Crepes with Prosciutto, Sun-dried Tomato, Arugula and Easy Hollandaise Drizzle

When all the eggs have been washed and packaged up for sale at the farm each week, the house fridge ends up with flats upon flats of eggs that are unsaleable, because they're either too small, too big, or have imperfections that don't meet the grade requirements. At most, we get about 12 flats of 30 eggs, or about 360 eggs per week that we need to use. It sounds like a lot; but with a gaggle of #WWOOFers in our community kitchen cooking themselves breakfast and lunch everyday, we manage to get through most of them. But at the end of the week, if there's still lots of eggs left, we're always thinking of egg-heavy recipes so there's no wasted eggs: angel food cake, meringue, custards, panna cota, lemon curd (yea, they're mostly desserts!) But crepes and Hollandaise sauce are also great ways to use up eggs for a Sunday breakfast or breakfast for dinner during the week. You can add anything to it: ham, bacon, prosciutto, or any other cured meats, and leafy greens or sauteed veggies. But this is one amazing combo!

There might be greens in this dish, but lets be real: it's indulgent and decadent and we won't lie to you about the nutritional facts. It's worth every bite though!
