Crepes Lorraine for Mother’s Day

It is Mother’s Day and time to celebrate ourselves if we are mothers and/or our moms. So for this, I have for you Crepes Lorraine for Mother’s Day #SundaySupper. 

My mom was not a cook, she could not understand the time spent in the kitchen. She felt that to be in there all day when people gobble it down in 20 minutes was a huge waste of her time. She loved being in the garden and would dig and putz the whole day there.

Her lack of enjoyment in the kitchen lead to very dull and unimaginative meals. That was fine, I didn’t blame her if it wasn’t her thing. She grew gorgeous flowers, fruits, and vegetables that I could then use in the kitchen where my inspirations could take over at a very young age. Her lack of enthusiasm gave me a blank canvas to fill. My father loved the kitchen but was handy capped and couldn’t cook.

Mom was a great mother though and I miss her dearly. It wasn’t in the kitchen where she taught me life lessons but everywhere else. She loved my cooking and baking and was always there to encourage me and was amazed by my complete immersion into complicated Julia Child recipes at a young age.

The recipe that I give you today is one that I have made a million times. I have made this for my parents, for my family, and for my friends. I have no idea where it came from nor do I have the original recipe anywhere anymore. It is a delicious and easy recipe, that can also be made ahead. Perfect to celebrate on Mother’s Day for brunch, lunch, or even dinner.

It has all the ingredients of a quiche lorraine wrapped up in light as air crepes.

The recipe can be easily doubled to make twice this amount for a large crowd. I have also frozen the crepes with great results.

These are rich and decadent, you don’t need many per person to be satisfied.

Here is a little delicious peek inside. Cheese and bacon all enveloped in a light fluffy crepe, this is the best recipe ever!!

Ingredients

Basic Main Dish Crepes

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 2 1/4 cups milk
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. cooking oil
• Butter for the pan

Filling

• 1 green onion, diced
• 2 cups shredded swiss cheese or half swiss and half cheddar
• 1/8 tsp. pepper
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
• 10 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• Pinch of nutmeg
• Parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. For the crepes, mix together the flour, milk, eggs, oil, and salt, and whisk well. Heat a lightly greased (with the butter) 6" crepe pan. Remove from heat and spoon about 2 Tbsp. of batter into the pan while lifting and tilting the skillet to spread evenly. Return to heat and brown one side only. To remove invert the pan onto a plate. Butter the pan in between crepes with a scant amount of butter. Makes approx. 20 crepes.
2. For the filling combine the bacon, onion, egg, parsley, and 1 1/2 cups of cheese. Add the sour cream, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well. Spread about 1 Tbsp. of this mixture on one side of each of the crepes and fold it into a triangle. Place in a buttered baking dish; sprinkle the remaining cheese over the crepes and bake for 12 min. at 350F. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately. The crepes can be made up to a day ahead of time and refrigerated. Heat for 20 min. Also freezes well, thaw, and heat.
