• In a large bowl** with a whisk beat the eggs and water, approximately 1 minute, add the salt and the flour 1/2 cup at a time and continue to beat until smooth.
• In a small frying pan or crepe pan, (I lightly greased the pan once with a brush) using a 1/4 cup ladle (or 1/4 cup) on low to medium heat, pour the crepe mixture in the pan, using the bottom of the ladle (or large spoon) spread the mixture but don't make them too large or too small. (approximately 6 inches, 15cm round). Crepes cook quite quickly, so watch carefully, approximately 20 seconds on each side, they should be cooked but not browned. When cooked move to a separate plate, continue until all are cooked.
• Once sauce has thickened remove from heat. From the sauce, using a slotted spoon remove about 1 cup (more or less) of the ground beef from the sauce, set aside.
• Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
• On a wooden board or small plate, place 1 crepe at a time, in the middle of the crepe add 1-2 teaspoons (dessert spoon) of meat, 3-4 cubes of mozzarella, 3-4 cubes fontal cheese and 1-2 teaspoons (dessert spoon) of grated parmesan cheese. Roll up the crepe.
• In a medium to large baking pan (depending if you are making all meat or half and half), spread a ladle or a little more if needed of sauce on the bottom of the pan, add the crepes to the pan until pan is full (they can be touching), cover with remaining sauce, top with some cubes of mozzarella and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
