Looks tasty! I sometimes think about crepes.
I posted this a few years ago:
"I used to make savory creamed chicken with mushrooms crepes. I haven't
thought about that in years. Might have to dig out my recipe! Crepes
are dead easy. I also used to make cheese-stuffed manicotti, not with
cooked tube pasta shells but with filled crepes. I learned that trick
from Jeff Smith's (The Frugal Gourmet) first book."
Same concept, crepes and The Frug's version of manicotti.
Oh, and a further comment:
"Stack them separated by waxed paper or parchment paper, then wrap
them tightly and freeze them. They are easy to separate. If you only
want to thaw a few crepes at a time, there they are."
As for asparagus crepes, I do believe gloria p mentioned them:
"Asparagus crepes (with or without ham) topped with Hollandaise!"
