I'm Back --- So much has happened

We had a morning Activity and I told them I was going to make Crepes and I shared my Recipe with the others in the Presidencies .

I made a Stack of Crepes and put Wax Paper between them.  Then when we were ready I warmed them up and served them.

I had a dear friend whose Recipe this is -  Love you Susan

HAM BROCOLLI ROLLS- Susan Brown

1 recipe Hollandaise Sauce.  Thinly slice ham, broccoli or asparagus spears.  Cooked and drained.  Parmesan cheese.  Place on thinly sliced piece of ham on each crepe.  Top with 1 or 2 spears of broccoli.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and roll.  Place in buttered shallow baking dish.  Bake 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees.  Cover with hot Hollandaise sauce.
Creamy Hollandaise Sauce

3 oz. cream cheese     
2 egg yolks      
2 tbsp. Lemon juice  
Pinch of salt    
1/4 cup butter, melted.  

Blend ingredients in blender.  Pour in the top of a double boiler and heat.


Crepes: 
 3 large eggs 
 1 1/2 cups whole milk* 
 1/2 cup water 
 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 
 2 tbsp. o.j. 
 3 tbsp. sugar 
 1/2 tsp salt 
 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for brushing the pan. 

 *Note:  The book says that the tasters preferred the taste of whole milk but that you can use low-fat or fat-free milk instead. 

 For the crepes:  Combine the eggs, milk, water, flour, o.j., sugar, salt, and melted butter in a blender until a smooth batter forms, about 10 seconds.  Transfer the batter to a medium bowl.  Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom and sides of a 10-inch nonstick skillet very lightly with melted butter and heat the skillet over medium heat.  When the butter stops sizzling, tilt the pan slightly to the right and begin pouring in a scant 1/4 cup batter.   


 I am sure you know how to finish cooking the crepes.  So, if you don't then i can finish with the directions if you want.  But, I am not sure if you want more breakfast recipes or just recipes for the crepes.  But here are some suggestions for the crepes.  You can make and orange sauce to go with these crepes instead of having syrup.  You can fill the crepes with an orange cream and then roll the crepes up so they are stuffed crepes.  You can grill some fruit and place them inside the crepes or if you bought some hawaiian fruit (like kiwis, mangoes, pineapple etc) and made a mixture of that, I can give you a sauce that would be good with the fruit.  Crepes are delicate and so the toppings should be delicate also.
