Crepes with Rosemary Seared Pears and Spreadable Swiss Cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for coating pan
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 sprig rosemary, plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh leaves
- 1 Bartlett pear, peeled and thinly sliced, lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons spreadable Swiss cheese
- Crepes: In a blender, add all of the ingredients and blend for 20 seconds.
- Refrigerate the crepe mixture for about 1 hour, but you can store the batter, refrigerated, for about 2 days.
- Coat a small nonstick pan with butter.
- Pour a small amount (but enough to thinly cover pan) of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread it evenly.
- Cook for 30 seconds and flip.
- Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board.
- Lay them out flat so they can cool.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- Filling: Put a medium pan on the stove over medium-high heat.
- Melt butter with the sprig of rosemary.
- Allow the butter to infuse with the rosemary by letting it cook for about 2 minutes, removing from heat periodically to prevent browning.
- After the rosemary is fragrant, remove the sprig form the pan, and set aside.
- Put the pear, chopped rosemary, and brown sugar in the pan and saute for about 3 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- Spread the Swiss cheese generously on half of a crepe.
- Then pour some of the pear filling over the cheese.
- Fold the crepe in half, like a sandwich.
- Then fold again in quarters, to make a triangular shape.
- Repeat with remaining crepes and filling.
- Arrange the crepes on a platter, and garnish with the whole rosemary sprig.
- Serve hot.
- Cook's Note: This dish goes wonderfully with a side of creme fraiche.
