Yield: 8 Servings

25 20 45

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
24 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
8 thin slices deli ham
8 slices Swiss cheese
MUSHROOM CHEESE SAUCE:
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 cup water
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup half-and-half cream
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1 tablespoon minced chives

Directions

In a blender, combine the first six ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet; pour 2 tablespoons batter into center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.
In a large skillet, bring 1/2 in. of water to a boil. Add asparagus; cover and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and immediately place asparagus in ice water; drain and pat dry.
On each crepe, layer a ham slice, Swiss cheese slice and three asparagus spears. Roll up and place in a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish.
In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour and bouillon. Gradually stir in water. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in cheddar cheese until melted. Stir in the cream, mushrooms and chives. Pour over crepes.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 8 crepes.

I made this yesterday for family and it was a big hit. Even my 12 year old said it was better than he thought it was going to be (he loves crepes w/ strawberries & whipped cream)!! Thanks to the previous review, I used a slightly differenct crepe recipe which tripled the number crepes and I'm glad I did!! Other than that, a great mix of flavors and textures. Really delicious! Thank you, TOH.

What better way to start the Valentine weekend with my sweety.... Asparagus Ham Crepes! (I also just added a side cup of Yogurt with Granola and Fruit.)

The crepes were absolutely delicious! Definitely a keeper recipe... and would be impressive for over night guest! However... I only got about 4 crepes out of the batter, so you may want to double the recipe for those. Next time I may make them the night before also, then when ready put them in the oven and make the sauce. There was PLENTY of sauce with this recipe.
