Step 1
Whisk flour, eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let rest 5 minutes while you prep the onions.
Step 2
Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium. Add onions, sugar, and thyme. Stir often until deep golden, ~10 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer onions to a plate. Wipe skillet clean with paper towel and return to medium heat.
Step 4
Melt remaining 2 tbsp butter in the skillet. Pour in 1/4 cup batter, tilting immediately to spread thin as a crêpe, ~30 seconds.
Step 5
When edges look set and bottom is pale golden, flip. Top with a handful of Gruyère and caramelized onions, then fold into quarters.
Step 6
Cook 60 more seconds until cheese melts. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve hot.
