One of my four or five decent recipes, my famous Spinach Crepe recipe.
Can I freeze them filled or do I have to freeze the crepes separately and assemble when I want to serve them? I need to know by tomorrow afternoon. Email address is munged. If mailing, send to barb dot schaller at birthlink -- er, I mean earthlink dot net. Ta. { Exported from MasterCook Mac } Gateau de Crepes aux Epinards Recipe By: posted again to r.f.cooking by Barb Schaller 11-11-03 Serving Size: 8 Preparation Time: 1:00 Categories: Entrees Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method Crepes: 2 eggs 2 egg yolks 1 1/4 cups milk 1 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons clarified butter Filling: 2 pkg. frozen chopped spinach (10 oz. each) 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon flour 3 tablespoons half and half 1 teaspoon sugar dash nutmeg Salt and pepper to taste To Finish: 1 cup Mornay sauce 1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese Prepare crepes: Beat eggs and egg yolks with milk, using a whisk or fork. Add flour and salt, beat until smooth. Batter should be the consistency of heavy cream. Add butter; let stand 30 minutes. Using about 1/4 cup batter, bake crepes (thin pancakes) in a hot heavy skillet or a crepe pan, turning once. Set aside or freeze for future use. Makes about 15 six-inch crepes. To prepare filling: cook the spinach according to package directions and drain thoroughly. Melt butter, add flour and stir. Add half and half, cook and stir until smooth (essentially, a thick white sauce). Stir in well-drained spinach, sugar, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Stack the crepes in a buttered pie plate, spreading about 1/3 cup of spinach mixture between each (will use about 5-7 crepes). Cover with Mornay sauce (a glorified white sauce--add some grated cheese to 1 cup medium white sauce) and sprinkle with grated Swiss cheese. Bake at 400° for about 10-15 minutes. Makes 6-8 servings.
