So dinner tonight was an experiment for me. I've never made crepes but I always see them on the Food Network and I decided tonight...sure why not? Let's give it a go. I was pretty impressed with the end result.
Ingredients:
Crepes:
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 1 cup of milk
- Dash of Nutmeg
- Dash of Salt
- 2 Eggs
- Whipped cream cheese (about half cup)
- 1 tbsp of milk
- Peanut butter (if you're feeling adventurous)
- Arugula or Herb mix (about 1 cup)
- Black Forest Ham, deli cut
- Garlic Salt for Taste
- Whisk all the crepe ingredients together in a bowl until batter is smooth (little to no lumps)
- Pour mixture into a measuring cup for easy pouring and let sit for about 10ish minutes
- Over medium heat, spray a 6" nonstick skillet/omelet pan with Pam and allow pan to heat until a drop of water sizzles (you can use whatever size pan I just used the smallest one we had)
- Pour about a 1/4th of a cup into the pan and move pan around until batter coats the bottom. Allow this to cook about a minute or until the crepe is easy to move around then flip.
- Cook the other side about 30 seconds
- Mix the cream cheese, garlic salt and milk together until smooth
So since I had a smaller pan I made about 10-11 crepes. For each crepe I spooned a little bit of the cream cheese mixture, then a slice of black forest ham and some herb mix (from HEB, has arugula, spinach and some other greens) and folded it into thirds into a delicious crepe.
Henry had the brilliant idea to add peanut butter then the cream cheese and all the other ingredients...it was pretty awesome but if you are not a fan of peanut butter or you aren't a fan of peanut butter and cheese then don't try this.
Over all a nice dinner. Yum
