Farmer Cheese Filled Crepes

Recipe Makes: about 30 crepes

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

INGREDIENTS FOR CREPES:

1 cup water

2 cups milk

8 eggs

8 tbsp oil (I used corn oil)

2 cups flour

4 tbsp sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

INGREDIENTS FOR FILLING:

2 cups farmer’s cheese

sugar optional (I used ¼ tsp for each crepe)

DIRECTIONS:

1. FOR CREPES: Combine water, milk, eggs, oil, flour, sugar, and vanilla extract in a blender.  Blend everything until well combined.
2. Heat up a 10” pan on medium heat. Add a drop of oil and use a basting brush to brush the oil around and fully cover the pan.
3. Once pan is heated add ¼ of a cup of the crepe batter. Swirl skillet until batter is fully coated on the pan. Once it starts to brown up on the edges, carefully use a butter knife to scrape the crepe. Using your hands, carefully grab the crepe and flip it. Once the other side is golden brown remove it from the skillet.
4. FOR ASSEMBLY:  Lay out a crepe and scoop 2 tbsp of farmer cheese and ¼ tsp of sugar.  Shape the cheese into a line and then take the crepe and fold it in half.  Tuck one half of the crepe so it goes under the cheese, and tightly roll the crepes.
5. Before serving, place the crepes into a large baking dish and bake at 350 F for 10 minutes.  Enjoy!
