Corn bread crepes hold a creamy, ham-and-cheese filling in this special brunch item. I appreciate that they're made the night before. In the morning, I just pop them in the oven and start brewing the coffee!Diane Nemitz, Ludington, Michigan Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups milk |
1 cup water |
5 eggs |
1/4 cup canola oil |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 package (8-1/2 ounces) corn bread/muffin mix |
filling: |
4 green onions, chopped |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 pound finely chopped fully cooked ham |
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry |
2 packages (8 ounces each) reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
topping: |
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk the milk, water, eggs and oil. Combine flour and corn bread mix; add to egg mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. For filling, in a large skillet, saute onions in butter until tender. Add the ham, spinach, cream cheese, mustard, nutmeg and pepper. Cook and stir until cheese is melted. Remove from the heat; keep warm.
3. Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour 3 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.
4. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of filling down the center of 22 crepes (save remaining crepes for another use). Roll up and place seam side down in two 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
5. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
6. Combine topping ingredients. Remove foil; sprinkle topping over crepes. Bake 5 minutes longer or until heated through. Yield: 11 servings.
