Description

One more use for crepes in a cheesy pasta-like dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Marinara
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
  • ¼ cups Parmesan
  • _____
  • FOR THE CREPE BATTER:
  • ½ cups Wheat Flour
  • ½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 teaspoons Each Oregano And Garlic Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
  • _____
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • ¼ cups Garlic Scapes
  • ¼ cups Diced Tomato
  • ¼ cups Mozzarella Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Egg Whites

Preparation

Spray a 9×9 pan, spread 1/2 cup of marinara in the bottom of the pan, and preheat oven to 350˚.

Combine all crepe batter ingredients in a bowl and combine until smooth. (This recipe only uses 8 crepes and the crepe batter yields 10-12, so I made a few plain ones (to freeze, see note below) and added in the oregano/garlic after that.

Heat a 8″ skillet, spray with oil, and place a scant 1/4 cup of batter in the pan. Tilt the pan so that the batter covers the entire pan and cook for about 30 seconds. Flip and cook for another 15 seconds. Place done crepes on a piece of parchment paper (be sure not to fully stack crepes).

Once crepes are done, combine filing ingredients in a bowl. Scoop a scant fourth of a cup of filling into the front of a crepe and roll. Repeat with remaining filling. (I got seven crepes and squeezed them into the pan; you may get more and less depending on how much filling you put in each crepe.)

Once filled crepes are in the pan, spread the rest of the marinara over the crepes, makings sure each crepe is covered. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 30-35 minutes until cheese on top is slightly browned and manicotti are bubbling.

Note: To freeze extra crepes for future use, place each crepe on top of a square of parchment paper and then seal in a plastic bag. If the crepes stick together, there is no getting them apart.

The crepe manicotti has been a favorite in our family over 30 years. I got lazy and tried with flour tortillas, and it came out close to the crapes. That recipe is posted on TK.

Recently I went back to the crepes. I had to use an 10 X 10 electric skillet, and couldn’t swirl the batter around, so the crepes were too thick for manicotti, so I used them for lasagna. Tastes the same. Excellent!

The next time, I made 10 X 10 crepes. I didn’t flip them, just waited until the top got dry. I had my sauce and filling ready, used 2 spatulas to pick up crepe-zilla and laid it right into a sauce-covered 10 X 10 pyrex baking dish, added cheese filling and more sauce while the next crepe was cooking, etc. Only needed 3 crepes. 8-).

Oh, this sounds so good! And I have most of the ingredients at home. If I weren’t going out for Sushi tonight I’d make these right away!
