Chicken and Asparagus Crepes
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 1 hour + chilling Bake: 20 min.
YIELD: 12 servings.
The crepes used in this dish come from my mom's special recipe, and can be made ahead of time, refrigerated to assemble the next day. Cooked rotisserie chicken is a real timesaver when making this savory brunch specialty. —Mary Sloan, Brighton, Michigan
