Fireball Crepe Recipes

THE WILLIAM TELL CREPE

Steps:

• For the crepe batter: In stand mixer, mix the eggs, milk, salt and 1 cup water until frothy. Add the flour; mix until thoroughly incorporated and free of lumps. Scrape the sides of the bowl and then add the melted butter; mix for 30 seconds. Let stand for 12 hours or overnight to allow the gluten to relax.
• For the apple filling: Heat a pot over medium heat. Add the butter and sugar. Once the butter has melted, add the sliced apples and cook until soft, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon, vanilla and lemon juice. Set aside to cool.
• For the caramel sauce: Heat a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and the vanilla bean; cook, stirring continuously, until the sugar liquefies and turns reddish brown. Add the butter, stirring until fully incorporated, 2 minutes. Slowly drizzle in the cream; boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the salt. Set aside to cool before using the sauce will thicken upon cooling.
• Assembly: Preheat a crepe plate to 200 degrees F or heat a crepe pan over low heat. Spin 1/2 cup of the batter on the crepe plate. Cook for 1 minute. Flip, and add 3/4 cup of the apple filling to the crepe. Cook for 2 minutes, then fold the crepe over into a half moon. Cook for another 2 minutes and then fold into thirds. Drizzle some caramel sauce over the crepe and serve. Repeat with the remaining batter.

CRêPES WITH FLAMBéED PEACHES

Steps:

• Lightly brush a crêpe with melted butter and warm in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, 15 to 30 seconds. Flip and fold over twice to form a triangle, then transfer to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining crêpes.
• Sauté the peaches in the butter and sugar in the same skillet over medium-high heat until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Carefully add the rum to the skillet and use a long lighter to ignite. Cook until the alcohol burns off, then stir in the lime juice. Spoon the peaches over the crêpes.

CREME DE LA CREPE

Steps:

• Make the crepes: Combine the milk, egg, flour, cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter, the vanilla and salt in a blender; pulse until smooth.
• Lightly brush a 10-inch nonstick skillet with some of the remaining melted butter; set over medium heat. Pour in 1/2 cup batter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan; cook until almost set, about 4 minutes. Flip with a rubber spatula and cook until set, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and let cool. Brush the skillet with more butter and repeat with the remaining batter to make 3 crepes.
• Make the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 10 minutes; let cool.
• Beat the butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Spread on the crepes, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with the coconut.
• Starting about 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of each crepe, arrange the kiwi, mango and raspberries in horizontal strips. Fold the crepes over the fruit to cover, then tightly roll up. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
• Cut the crepe rolls into pieces. Thin the dulce de leche with 1 tablespoon water; serve on the side.

CHEESESTEAK CREPE

Steps:

• For the crepe batter: Add the eggs, flour, oil, salt and 1 cup water to a blender and blend until it has a thin batter consistency.
• Combine the Monterey Jack and mozzarella together in a bowl to make a cheese blend.
• For the cheese sauce: Stack the American cheese, then add to a vacuum sealer bag. Add the milk and a pinch of salt in the same bag. Seal the bag.
• For the crepes: Add 1 tablespoon of the canola oil to a nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat for about 1 minute. Pour some batter into the pan, making sure it covers the whole pan. Let the batter settle, then add some cheese blend and let melt. Flip the crepe over and let it cook on the cheese side until melted, then remove the crepe from the pan. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 9 more crepes.
• Heat the pan with the remaining tablespoon canola oil. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and a pinch of ground pepper until sauteed. Remove the onions, then add the rib eye to the pan. Add some granulated garlic, salt and pepper and cook until the meat is cooked all the way through.
• For the cheese sauce: Boil 2 quarts of water. Add the sealed cheese bag to the boiling water and let cook until melted, about 1 minute. Remove from the water.
• Fold a cooked crepe in half, then add 8 ounces rib eye and one scoop of onion in center of the crepe. Add the cheese sauce drizzle. If desired, add your favorite sauce or chimichurri. Roll the crepe over the center. Enjoy. Repeat to make 9 more crepes.
