I lonce had chicken cordon blue crepes in a resteraunt and loved them. So I decided to play with a crepe recipe at home to see if I could come up with something close. I really like the results. The filling and sauce is also very good over egg noodles and rice too! Note: Prep time includes the 1 hour needed to chill the crepe batter. Extra time has also been added to the cooking time to include the cooking of the crepes (this is a guesstimate since I did not check the time when I started.) Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
2 eggs |
1 1/4 cups milk |
2 cups chopped cooked chicken |
1 cup chopped cooked ham |
3/4 cup shredded swiss cheese |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup chicken broth |
1 1/2 cups milk |
1/4 cup shredded swiss cheese |
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped ham |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, whisk flour, eggs and milk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
2. Heat a lightly greased 7 skillet.
3. Pour 2-2.5 Tbs batter in center of skillet; tilt to coat bottom of pan.
4. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer.
5. Remove to a plate and repeat (Important place sheets of wax paper between crepes to prevent them from sticking together).
6. Sprinkle chicken, ham and swiss cheese over crepes. Roll up tightly and place seam side down in greased 9x13 baking dish.
7. For sauce: In a small sauce pan, melt butter.
8. Stir in flour until blended.
9. Gradually whisk in both broth & milk and bring to a boil.
10. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes until thickened.
11. Remove from heat; stir in swiss cheese and ham and stir until cheese is melted.
12. Pour 1 cup sauce over the crepes.
13. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
14. Serve with remaining sauce.
