I tried these Crepes Stuffed with Ham & Cheese for brunch with friends, and it was a hit! They were so easy to make, and the béchamel added such creaminess. Everyone loved them. I plan to make this again for my family. Super comforting and delish!

Is there a way I can replace the milk with something else or will it ruin the taste?
