Baked Mushroom Crepes

8 Crepes
1 lb sliced Crimini Mushrooms
1 ˝ C grated Asiago Cheese, divided
Chardonnay Oak Smoked Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
˝ C Mushroom Broth
2 T Butter, cubed
Bread Crumbs (optional)

In a large, preheated sauté pan, sauté the mushrooms, adding them in batches, seasoning with salt to taste. Place some mushrooms and a scant 1/8th cup Asiago in a crepe and roll up, tucking in the sides. Place seam side down in a shallow baking dish. Repeat with remaining crepes, placing them close together in the dish.

Pour the broth over the crepes to come up half way. (You may not need all of the broth depending on the baking dish.) Top with the remaining cheese, mixed with the breadcrumbs if you wish, and dot with the butter. Place in a preheated 350* oven for 10 minutes, or alternately warm the broth on the stove or in the microwave before pouring over crepes, and then put dish under the broiler for a few minutes until cheese is browned. Serves 4 as a side dish, 2 as a main course.

Roasted Asparagus Crepes with Brie and Cherry Tomatoes in a Lemon Poppy Seed Butter Sauce

This is a great dish for a warm, early spring or summer day, prefect for lunch with a nice green salad and a glass of Prosecco.

6 Crepes
18 spears of asparagus
Gray Salt
Olive Oil
12 cherry tomatoes
˝ Lb Brie
1 stick butter
Zest of one lemon
Juice of half a lemon, or to taste
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Preheat oven to 500*. On a sheet pan, toss asparagus with olive oil and grey salt. Roast for 10-12 minutes. Lower oven to 325*. Cut tomatoes in half. Cut the brie into cubes.
To assemble the crepes, place 3 asparagus spears, and then alternate 3 brie cubes and 4 tomato halves on the crepe. Roll up without tucking in the sides. Place in a baking dish or on a sheet pan with the seam side down. Place in the oven for a few minutes just to lightly melt the brie.

To make the butter, in a small sauce pan over medium low heat place the butter, lemon juice and lemon zest. Melt gently as to not separate the butter. Stir in the poppy seeds, and the spoon over the crepes before serving.
