Crepes are a fun way to shake up your normal cooking routine to feel fancy and French. Fill with the classic quiche-combo of broccoli and cheddar for a hearty dinner.
Ingredients
3 large eggs
c. all-purpose flour
3 c. reduced-fat (2%) milk
4 tbsp. margarine or butter
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1 small Red Onion
2 tbsp. cornstarch
2 package frozen chopped broccoli
1 package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/4 c. fresh parsley leaves
Method
* In blender, combine eggs, flour, 1 1/2 cups milk, 2 tablespoons margarine, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
* Cover and blend until smooth, scraping down sides of blender occasionally.
* Transfer batter to medium bowl; cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight to allow flour to absorb liquid.
* Lightly brush 10-inch nonstick skillet with some melted margarine and heat on medium 1 minute. With wire whisk, thoroughly mix batter to blend well.
* Pour scant 1/4 cup batter into skillet; tilt pan to coat bottom completely with batter.
* Cook crêpe until top is dry and set and underside is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
* With spatula, loosen edge of crêpe; turn over. Cook 30 seconds to 1 minute or until second side is browned.
* Slip crêpe onto waxed paper. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing pan lightly with margarine before cooking each crêpe and stacking crêpes between layers of waxed paper.
* You should have at least 12 crêpes.
* Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat remaining tablespoon margarine on medium until hot.
* Add onion and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until tender and beginning to brown.
* In cup, stir together cornstarch and remaining 1 1/2 cups milk.
* To onion in skillet, add milk mixture, broccoli, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper.
* Heat to boiling; boil 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat; stir in 1 1/2 cups Cheddar.
* Place crêpes on work surface; spread generous 1/4 cup broccoli mixture on half of each crêpe.
* Starting from side with broccoli, roll up crêpes and place, seam side down, in shallow 2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish.
* Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar.
* Bake about 15 minutes or until cheese melts and crêpes are heated through. Sprinkle with parsley.
