Reviews
Wonderful! Used left-over ham, chopped up, and chopped the asparagus as well.
These were delicious for a Sunday brunch. I doubled the recipe for the batter and I'm glad I did because it always takes me a while to get the crepes right and the first several end up in the garbage disposal. The only other change was to leave out the mushrooms because I don't like them. Definitely a keeper!
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.
