Ingredients
- Store-bought or homemade crepes
- Cooked turkey, shredded or sliced
- Brie cheese, sliced or roughly chopped
- Cranberry sauce, homemade or store-bought
- Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
- Fresh herbs (optional, thyme or parsley)
- Salt
- Pepper
- All-purpose flour (for homemade crepes)
- Milk (whole milk or preferred alternative, for homemade crepes)
- Eggs (large, for homemade crepes)
- Butter (melted, for homemade crepes)
Instructions
- Prepare the crepes: If using store-bought, warm them gently in a non-stick pan. If making from scratch, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 eggs, 1 ¼ cups milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes. Grease a hot skillet with butter, pour about ¼ cup of batter into the center, and swirl to coat the pan evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Repeat until all batter is used.
- Prepare the filling: Shred or slice the cooked turkey into bite-sized pieces. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Slice the brie into thin pieces for easy melting.
- Assemble the crepes: Lay each crepe flat and add a layer of turkey, followed by brie slices. Spoon cranberry sauce over the top.
- Fold and heat: Fold the crepes into halves or quarters, depending on preference. Warm each assembled crepe in a lightly greased skillet over medium-low heat until the brie melts and everything is heated through (about 2-3 minutes).
- Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm. Pair with a side salad or sparkling cider for a complete meal.
Notes
[‘Keep the crepes warm by stacking cooked crepes with parchment paper between each one and covering with a clean kitchen towel.’, ‘Don’t overfill the crepes to prevent tearing.’, ‘Slice brie thinly for even melting.’, ‘Use chilled cranberry sauce and reheat gently if needed.’, ‘Experiment with herbs like thyme or rosemary for added flavor.’]
