Spinach And Feta Crepes Recipes

SAVORY MUSHROOM, SPINACH & CHEESE CREPES

Steps:

• Make crepes if using homemade & set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet until hot enough to sizzle a slice of mushroom. Add the mushrooms all at once and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until they begin to brown. About 10 minutes.
• Stir in the parsley, thyme, garlic, salt & pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium and stir in the spinach. Cover & cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
• Uncover & add the goat cheese, stirring until melted.
• Spoon mixture down the center of each crepe. Roll up crepes and arrange side by side in a 13x9 baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
• Cover pan with foil and heat until cheese melts, about 15 minutes.
• Serve warm.

CREPES WITH SPINACH, BACON AND MUSHROOM FILLING

Steps:

• Prepare Basic Crepes recipe according to recipe directions. Separate with wax paper and keep warm until ready to serve.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside. Reserve about 1 tablespoon drippings, add 1 tablespoon butter, and saute mushrooms.
• In a separate saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup flour, stirring constantly, until a smooth paste is formed. Gradually stir in 1 cup milk, stirring constantly until a smooth thick gravy is formed. Add bacon, mushrooms, spinach, parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Let cook until somewhat thick, about 10 minutes.
• In saucepan bring broth to a boil. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and lemon juice. Temper eggs and broth together whisking constantly so as to cook, but not to scramble the eggs. (Cooking eggs to 170 degrees F). Again, salt and pepper to taste.
• Fill each crepe with spinach and meat filling, roll up, and top with warm egg sauce.

• Wash spinach and remove stalks.
• Place in bowl and microwave for a very short time- divide the spinach leaves into 2-3 bunches, cover and cook a bunch at a time.

• Add the remaining milk and lastly the melted butter.
• Heat oil in crepe pan (or use spray).
• Pour about 3-4 tablespoons of crepe mixture into pan- enough to cover the base of the pan thinly and evenly.
• Cook over high heat for about 1 minute until mixture looks as though it is setting on the top and the underneath is lightly browned.
• Turn crere over and cook the other side for about 1/2 a minute.

• Fold crepe into a'parcel' and place in lightly greased baking dish.

• Over the crepes spoon some Italian Tomato Sauce (easy to make)- onions, garlic, canned tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
• And then sprinkle lots of grated mozarella cheese!
• Place in moderate oven about 15-20 minutes.
• This recipe may seem fidley to some or alot of work but it's not really- believe me.
• The recipe is always nicer a day old and re-heated.
