Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Gather all the ingredients for the salad. Go for a larger chicken fillet so the salad comes out heartier. If your eggs are large, two are enough; if they're small, use 3. The eggs and milk should be at room temperature, so take them out of the refrigerator ahead of time.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Wash and dry the chicken fillet, then boil it in salted water until cooked through. Cut the cooked fillet into small or medium cubes.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Drain the canned corn in a colander and let the water run off. Pat the kernels dry.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Whisk the eggs with the milk, using a fork or a whisk, until smooth. You can skip the milk altogether or swap it for mayonnaise or heavy cream. Milk or cream makes the crêpes more delicate in flavor and texture; mayonnaise makes them slightly salty and a bit more springy. Choose whichever result you prefer.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Grease a skillet with vegetable oil. Pour in half the egg mixture and fry the crêpe on both sides until set. In my experience these are easier to make in a small skillet. Unlike regular flour pancakes, egg crêpes are delicate, and a large one can tear when you flip it.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Move the finished crêpe to a plate. Grease the skillet again and fry the second crêpe. Let the crêpes cool.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Stack the egg crêpes on top of each other and cut them into thin strips.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    In a salad bowl, combine the chicken, egg strips, and canned corn. Season with salt and pepper and dress with mayonnaise. Mix gently. If you like, add some chopped parsley or dill.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Serve the salad right away or chill it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Enjoy!

  • To make the salad heartier, add some canned or lightly sautéed mushrooms.
