We were out for brunch awhile ago and I saw crepes on the menu. Yum, crepes, I thought. And then I ordered fritatta. But I kept thinking about those crepes, so I decided we should make some for dinner.

The hardest part was getting the hang of spreading the crepe batter in the pan. The secret seemed to be lifting the pan off the heat while you pour a small amount into the pan, then rotate it until the batter has filled the whole bottom thinly. We had a few tasters before we got it down, but then it was easy, and kind of fun!

The filling was a tasty combo of leeks, portabellos, and asparagus with a little garlic and balsamic vinegar, topped with feta. I think most dinner crepes usually have some kind of sauce, like a bechamel sauce or something, but these were nice and light, I don't usually like a heavy cream sauce.

Ian tried the roll-up method, I did a quarter fold. They both tasted good!

Those look like exactly the sort of food I need on a rainy Vancouver night like tonight. It also reminds me to try making some of the gluten-free friendly buckwheat crepes that one finds in European creperies.
As an aside, I can’t help but think that Freud could probably have spent an evening analyzing your respective rolling styles.

Made this filling last summer for a family crepe dinner. My sister and I made the crepes and allowed everyone to choose between different fillings. Your recipe was my favorite filling and went fast. Thanks!
