ingredients

Crepes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup water, plus
2 tablespoons water
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 pinch salt
¹⁄₃ cup chopped of fresh mint
Filling
¹⁄₄ cup cream cheese
¹⁄₄ cup mascarpone cheese
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons sugar
¹⁄₄ teaspoon vanilla extract
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground nutmeg
9 tablespoons strawberry preserves

directions

In a food processor blender, blend the flour, water, butter, and salt for about 5-10 seconds. Scrape the sides of the container down and blend for another 20 seconds.
Transfer batter to a bowl and let rest for 1 hour. Stir in the herbs.
Heat a 6-7 inch skillet over medium heat, sprayed with non-stick spray. Pour batter into the pan to coat (very thin) bottom of pan. Heat crepe for 1-2 minutes or until loose from the pan. Flip over and cook for another 30 seconds.
In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients together until well blended.
With each crepe place 3 tablespoons of the mixture in the center and fold over once and then again (like an envelope).
Place on a baking dish with non-stick spray and bake all crepes in a preheated 325°F for approximately 20 minutes or until heated through.
Serve with whip cream or ice cream. Garnish with mint sprigs.

The crepes themselves are a 5 star. The filling was ok. If I were to make it again I would omit the sugar and the nutmeg. The nutmeg seemed to clash with the mint in the crepes and it was way too sweet.

http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/527607/cookswithcattitude.jpg I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more. I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking. My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg"> <img src="http://www.caymandesigns.com/foodothers/fallswap.jpg">
