Asparagus Sausage Crepes Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound bulk pork sausage
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1 cup milk
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 32 fresh asparagus spears (about 1 pound), trimmed
• TOPPING:
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream

Directions

• In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese and marjoram; set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the milk, eggs and oil. Combine flour and salt; add to milk mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour 2 tablespoons batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. 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.
• Spoon 2 tablespoons of the sausage mixture onto the center of each crepe. Top with two asparagus spears. Roll up; place in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes.
• Cover and bake at 375° for 15 minutes. Combine the butter and sour cream; spoon over crepes. Bake 5 minutes longer or until heated through. Yield: 8 servings.
