BAKED CHEESE CREPES - GIADA DE LAURENTIIS
Giada made these on a recent episode of "Everyday Italian" and they looked delicious AND a lot easier to make than you might expect. They're also a good alternative at Italian food dinner parties for lowcarb diners. Would be nice for brunch!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F; butter a 13x9x2-inch baking dish, set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Over medium-low temperature, heat a 6-inch non-stick skillet (one with a cover).
- Brush the bottom of the skillet with butter; place 3 tablespoons of the eggs in a cup then pour all at once into the skillet and swirl to evenly coat the bottom of the pan (don't try adding them a tablespoon at a time, it works better to do a total of 3 at once).
- Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs set, about 1 minute (don't overcook), then turn the skillet upside down over a plate to drop the crepe out of the pan; cover crepe with a piece of wax paper.
- Repeat steps with remaining melted butter and egg mixture until you've used it up and made 10 crepes, putting wax paper in between each stacked crepe on the plate.
- Take a crepe and place it on a flat surface, then put some of the fontina and mozzarella in the center, sprinkle with basil, and roll up the crepe.
- Put the rolled crepe seam-side-down into the buttered baking dish; repeat steps with remaining crepes.
- Pour the marinara or other pasta sauce over the filled crepes, sprinkle with Parmesan, dot with butter, and bake at 400 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and Parmesan is golden.

Yield 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- For the sauce: In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 8 minutes (do not allow the mixture to boil). Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- For the farro: In a large bowl, add the cheeses and stir to combine. Remove 1/2 cup of the mixture and reserve. In a large stock pot, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the farro, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the faro is tender, about 25 minutes. Drain, if necessary. Add the farro, thyme, and sauce to the bowl with the cheese. Stir until combined and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with the reserved 1/2 cup of cheese. Sprinkle the top with bread crumbs and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and forms a crust, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 (12-cup) muffin or cupcake pans with vegetable cooking spray. Using 1 cup of the bread crumbs, coat the inside of each muffin cup with bread crumbs, shaking off any excess.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, Cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and add to a large bowl. Stir in the cooked turkey and the cheeses. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the prepared pasta mixture into the cupcake molds, filling evenly to about 2/3 full. Arrange a few pieces of tomato, broccoli and asparagus into each cup. Top with a thin layer of the remaining bread crumbs and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes and carefully unmold with a spoon onto a serving platter.
- *Cook's Note: To blanch vegetables, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the vegetables and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until very crisp. Using a small strainer, remove the vegetables and immediately plunge into a bowl of iced water. Drain and use.

- Fresh raspberries and vanilla sugar, recipe follows
- For the crepes: Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a blender, add the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and salt. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth batter. Preheat a 10-inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 cube of butter to the pan. When the butter has melted, add 1/4 cup of batter and quickly tilt the pan to form an even coating of batter on the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute until set and slightly browned. Using a heat-resistant spatula, carefully loosen the sides and gently flip the crepe over. Cook for 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter. In a small bowl, mix together the jam and vanilla extract. Using a 1-teaspoon measuring spoon, spoon 2 teaspoons of the jam mixture into the center of each crepe. Using the back of the spoon, spread the jam evenly over the crepes leaving a 1/2-inch border. Starting at the nearest edge, roll the crepes into tube shapes. Arrange the crepes on the prepared baking sheet and place in a warm oven, for up to 20 minutes, until ready to serve.
- For the whipped cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Continue to beat until the cream holds stiff peaks.
- Transfer the crepes to a serving platter and sprinkle with vanilla sugar. Serve with whipped cream and fresh raspberries.
- Vanilla Sugar:
- Add the sugar to the bowl of a food processor. Using a paring knife, slice the vanilla bean in half, lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds. Add the vanilla seeds to the sugar. Pulse 10 to 15 times until the vanilla and sugar are combined. Cut the empty vanilla pod into 1-inch pieces and add to a glass mason jar. Add the vanilla sugar to the jar and seal. Shake the jar before using.
