Asparagus Sausage Crepes

This looks and sounds delicious! I love asparagus and all of the other ingredients in this recipe. I think that it would be a wonderful dish to make for the holidays, or even as a side for dinner. It's filled with sausage, cream cheese, monterey jack, and onions, and is topped with a cool sour cream sauce. I love Taste of Home's magazine. My grandmother got me a subscription to it last Christmas, and I'm always on their website looking for other great recipes. If you've never heard of them, you definatly need to check them out. You can join with them free on their website ( which only takes about 2-3 minutes ) and get a free magazine sent to you.

Ingredients:

1 pound bulk pork sausage

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 package cream cheese, cubed. ( 4ounces )

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram

1 cup milk

3 eggs

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

32 fresh asparagus spears (about 1 pound), trimmed

 

Directions:

• In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese and marjoram; set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the milk, eggs and oil. Combine flour and salt; add to milk mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour 2 tablespoons batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.
• Spoon 2 tablespoons of the sausage mixture onto the center of each crepe. Top with two asparagus spears. Roll up; place in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes.
• Cover and bake at 375° for 15 minutes. Combine the butter and sour cream; spoon over crepes. Bake 5 minutes longer or until heated through. Yield: 8 servings.

I can't wait to try this recipe. I changed one thing in it, which was 1/2 cup of cheese to 1 cup. So make it any way that sounds best to you. If you decide to make this, let me know what you think. Hope you like it!http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Asparagus-Sausage-Crepes
