Trying Vegetable Crepes For The First Time!+Recipie

Cuisine from around the world helps us expand what we put on the table. Lately, I have been experimenting a whole lot with foods. 2 weeks back I attempted making a Quesadilla. Yesterday, I finally tried a French Vegetable Crepe. It was absolutely amazing. 

A Crepe is like a thin pancake which is usually filled with various fillings. Typically people like to wrap strawberries, bananas, and chocolates in crepes with a drizzle of sugar. Sometimes people go for the simple Nutella chocolate crepe. But there are some adventurous folks who push the crepes to whole other level. Chicken Crepes are also very popular. They are just like vegetable crepes with just some shredded chicken added into it. A vegetable crepe typically consists of spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese. It creates a soft, savory, and all around warm taste. 

All in all I would recommend it!

Recipie:

1cup quick-mixing flour.

2/3cup 2% reduced-fat milk

2/3cup cold water

3-- eggs

6tablespoons melted butter, divided

1/4teaspoon salt

Filling:

1-- green bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into bite-size pieces (about 1 cup)

1medium sweet onion, coarsely chopped (about 3/4 cup)

Handful of soft Sauteed mushrooms, chopped

2cups grape tomatoes

2tablespoons olive oil

1/2teaspoon kosher salt

1/4teaspoon dried thyme

-- Coarsely ground black pepper

To assemble:

5ounces brie cheese, softened

Instructions

1. To prepare crepes, place flour in a medium bowl, whisk in milk and water until smooth. Whisk in eggs, 3 tablespoons butter and salt. Let stand 10 minutes. (This allows the flour to absorb the liquid.)
2. Heat an 8- or 9-inch crepe pan over medium-high heat until hot. Lightly brush pan with some of the remaining melted butter.
3. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the center of pan. Quickly tilt in all directions. (Batter should lightly cover the bottom of pan.) Cook 30 seconds. Lift edge with a spatula to check doneness. Shake and jerk the pan by its handle to loosen crepe. Turn crepe over with your fingers or a spatula, or flip. Cook 15 to 20 seconds. (Second side will be spotty brown.)
4. Repeat with remaining batter and melted butter. Makes 10 crepes.
5. Preheat oven to 350F.
6. To prepare filling, place mushrooms, bell pepper, onion and tomatoes in a large baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Add salt, thyme and pepper. Roast 30 minutes or until tender. Makes about 3 cups.
7. Spread 2 tablespoons cheese on half of each crepe. Top with about 1/3 cup roasted vegetables. Fold in half then in half again

Well, I would definitely reccomend it! Try it out when you have time. You won't regret it!
