SPINACH AND MUSHROOM STUFFED CREPES

Steps:

• Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add your butter and start it melting.
• Sauté your mushrooms in the butter. Add a little salt and pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms are cooked.
• Add your chopped garlic and bacon bits. Cook for about 1 minute.
• Add your spinach to the pan and cook for about 1 minute. Add a little salt and pepper. The spinach should wilt and bundle up, a bit. Don't cook for too long, or else it loses its color and vibrancy.
• Add your parmesan cheese and quickly toss it into the mix.
• Divide even amounts between the 8 crepes, spreading the mixture into straight lines, running down the center of each crepe. I do this by tilting the pan and pulling a bit out with tongs, while moving the pan over the crepe. Others use a spoon and spoon it into lines. Use the method you're comfortable with.
• Roll the crepes tightly and then cut them into half. Cut the very ends off, just to square them off (I usually just eat the tasty, delicious ends). Place 4 stuffed crepe halves on each place. Serve!

HAM, MUSHROOM AND CHEESE CREPES

Steps:

• 1. TO MAKE THE CREPES: Sift the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl and make a well in the center. Mix the eggs and milk together with the water and pour slowly into the well, whisking all the time to incorporate the flour until you have a smooth batter. Stir in the melted butter. Cover & refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• 2. Heat a crepe pan or a non-stick frying pan and grease with a little butter or oil. Pour in enough batter to coat the base of the pan with a thin even layer and tip out any excess. Cook over moderate heat for about a minute, or until the crepe starts to come away from the side of the pan. Turn the crepe and cook on the other side for 1 minute, or until lightly golden. Stack the crepes on a plate with pieces of wax paper between them and cover with foil or plastic wrap while you cook the rest of the batter to make 6 large crepes.
• 3. TO MAKE THE FILLING: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat the 1 oz butter in a frying pan, add the mushrooms, season well and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until all the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Stir in the cream, cheese, and ham.
• 4. TO ASSEMBLE: Lay one crepe on a board or work surface. Top with about a sixth of the filling and fold the crepe into quarters. Place it on a baking sheet, and then fill and fold the remaining crepes. Bake for 5 minutes and then serve immediately.

SPINACH AND HAM CREPES RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• 1. Cook spinach about 5 minutes in boiling water; drain. 2. Place half of chopped ham in a food processor. Add the spinach, cream, salt, and nutmeg, and blend until pureed. 3. Return the puree to a clean saucepan and add the remainder of the ham. Stir over a low heat until thick. If puree appears too thin, add 1 TBS cornstarch dissolved in 2 TBS cold water, and it will thicken immediately. 4. Spread the ham and spinach puree on a crepe. Roll crepe and place in an oiled, ovenproof dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Heat for 15 minutes in a 400F oven. Allow cheese to brown slightly under the broiler. May be served with Mornay or Hollandaise Sauce. Makes 6 crepes. Each crepe = 3 Weight Watchers points.

SPINACH CREPES WITH HAM AND MUSHROOM

Steps:

• Wash the spinach and place in a blender or food processor. Add the egg, butter, flour and milk, and blend well for 1 minute. Pour into a bowl and allow to sit for 30 minutes.
• Wash the mushrooms and put in blender or food processor along with the ham, sour cream and paprika. Puree and set aside.
• Heat a crepe pan, or small non-stick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water jumps in the pan. Put 1 tablespoon of crepe batter into the pan and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly. Turn down the heat. Crepe should be very thin so it will cook in less than a minute. The crepes do not need to be turned. Remove the crepe and continue with the rest of the batter, one at a time. You should thin the batter with 1-2 tablespoons of water as you make the crepes, because the batter will thicken as it sits. You want to keep the crepes very thin!
• Place each crepe in an oven dish as you make them. Spread each crepe with the ham and mushroom filling, and fold.
• Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top, and heat in pre-heated 375F oven for 2-5 minutes.

• Heat up a pancake pan (large or small), grease with a little oil (I used a piece of paper towel to do this) and ladle the crepes batter onto the pan in a circular motion swirling the pan to ensure the batter covers the entire surface. Cook over a medium heat for about 2 minutes on one side and a minute on the other, until the crepe is lightly browned. Stack ready crepes on a large plate.
• To make the filling puree the spinach mixture (once cooled) along with the cottage cheese, cheddar cheese and onion granules until smooth (or puree the spinach then stir in the cheeses for more texture). Season to taste and make the crepes.
