Recipe from Food & Wine

To give his crepes a subtle, nutty flavor, Mike Price browns the butter for his batter. "Any jam will go with hazelnuts and chocolate," the chef says. "You can't screw that up."

Directions
1.
Preheat the oven to 225 degrees. In an 8-inch nonstick skillet, brown the 2 tablespoons of butter over moderately high heat, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
2.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and egg yolk with the half-and-half. Whisk in the flour and browned butter. Season the batter with salt and pepper.
3.
Set the skillet over high heat. When it is hot, add a scant 1/4 cup of batter, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook until the crepe is browned around the edges and the top is set, about 45 seconds. Flip the crepe and cook until the underside is lightly browned, about 30 seconds longer. Transfer the crepe to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, buttering the pan as needed. You should have about 8 crepes.
4.
Spread each crepe with 1 tablespoon of the jam and fold into quarters. Transfer the crepes to a small baking dish, overlapping slightly. Bake for 10 minutes, until the crepes are just heated through.
5.
Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the Nutella in a microwave oven on high power in 20-second bursts just until runny. Drizzle the Nutella over the warm crepes and serve.

MAKE AHEAD
The crepes can be prepared through Step 3, covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight.
