They had a plethora of different crepes both sweet and savory. When I asked the others to join me in celebrating Candlemas today and decided to make crepes it brought back sweet foodie memories.
My eldest, Amy, and her husband Doug were coming for dinner one night and I tried to recreate those memories by making several different kinds of crepes. Our menu included Shrimp and Asparagus Crepes, Chicken ala King Crepes, the Vegetable Crepes that I am sharing with you today, and for dessert, Dark Chocolate Filled Crepes that I will be sharing with you tomorrow.
Roasted Vegetable Crepes
Ingredients
- 12 crepes (my recipe)
- 2 zucchini, cut into small dice
- 1 summer squash, cut into small dice
- 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded, cored, and cut into small dice
- 2 carrots, scraped and cut into small dice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 T. olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 (5 oz) pkg. Boursin cheese
- 4-5 basil leaves, chopped
- 3/4 stick butter
- 3 T. flour
- 1 1/2 c. vegetable broth
- 1 jar roasted red peppers
- 2 cloves garlic
Instructions
- Toss the zucchini, squash, yellow pepper, and carrots with the olive oil and minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Place onto a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in a preheated 350* oven for 20-30 minutes, until tender.
- Cool the vegetables and then mix with the Boursin cheese and basil.
- While the vegetables are roasting, melt the butter in a saucepan over med-high heat. Stir in the flour and cook until lightly browned and nutty smelling. Whisk in the broth and add the red peppers and garlic cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Pour the hot red pepper mixture into a food processor and puree until smooth. Pour into a 9x13" baking pan.
- Spoon the roasted vegetable mixture onto the center of each crepe. Fold the crepe over the mixture and then fold the half crepe into a triangle shape. Arrange the crepes in the Red Pepper Coulis and bake in a preheated 350* oven for 20-30 minutes, until heated through.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy Cam.
DeleteI cannot wait to try these. We love crepes, but we rarely do them in the savory style. Gotta change that.
ReplyDeleteThey always make a delightful meal.
DeleteI remember The Magic Pan! Back when crepes were all the rage. I can't wait to try your crepe recipe!
