1/4 cup water
-
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
FILLING:
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
2 tablespoons chopped onion
-
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
-
1 cup 2% milk
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
-
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Directions

1.
For batter, combine eggs, water, flour and salt in a blender. Cover and process until blended. Refrigerate, covered, 30 minutes.

2.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add onion. Cook and stir until tender, 1-2 minutes. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add 1/2 cup cheese, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper and salt; stir until cheese is melted. Stir in broccoli. Cover; keep warm.

3.
Preheat oven to 350°. Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir batter. Fill a 1/4-cup measure halfway with batter; pour into center of the pan. Quickly lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn crepe over and cook until bottom is cooked, 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed.

4.
Spoon about 1/2 cup filling down the center of each crepe; roll up. Place seam side down in an ungreased 11x7-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted, 5-7 minutes.
