Default Freezing Filled Crepes

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.

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.
