ASPARAGUS CREPES
"I love serving these tender crepes with their light lemony sauce in spring," notes Carol Hemker of Phenix City, Alabama. "But my husband would eat them any time of year at all. In fact, it's the only way he'll eat asparagus! This dish is also lovely for luncheon or brunch."

ASPARAGUS PROSCIUTTO CREPES WITH WHITE WINE BRIE SAUCE FOR TWO
I wanted to make a relatively easy appetizer; turned out it's filling enough to be a main course. I used Bergy's All Purpose Dinner crepes, but cut the recipe in half since there are only two of us. I added one more egg because I like eggy, runny crepes. It actually didn't take me very long. 67 minutes from start to finish (that includes eating time). I'm not great with sauces, but this one worked for me.

Steps:
- Cook the asparagus to your liking and set aside.
- Remove the rind from the brie and tear or cut into pieces; set aside.
- In a medium skillet, melt the 1/4 tablespoon butter; add the mushrooms; saute for about 4 minutes.
- Add the onion and continue to saute until the onion is translucent (about 3 more minutes). Set aside.
- In a medium sauce pan, melt the 3 tablespoons butter; add the flour, stirring until smooth. I cooked this mixture on medium-medium high for about two minutes trying to get it to brown, but no luck.
- Slowly add the chicken stock, one 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Once the stock is incorporated, slowly stir in the white wine as you stir to avoid lumps.
- Add the garlic powder and ground black pepper.
- Turn heat up to medium high and stir so the mixture is very hot, but not boiling.
- Add the sour cream and stir briskly. The lumps will dissipate as you continue to cook the sauce.
- Stir in the brie pieces; turn heat down to medium low.
- Add in the parsley and sauteed mushrooms and onions.
- Continue to heat the sauce, stirring occasionally until all lumps are removed.
- At this point, you can either create your crepes or use your prepared crepes. I made my crepes while my sauce softly simmered.
- Place one slice of prosciutto on the crepe.
- Place four spears of asparagus on the crepe. Roll up the crepe.
- Top with the sauce.
- Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the prosciutto in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it renders some fat and begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook until the garlic just begins to soften, about 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the wine. Return to the heat and cook until the wine evaporates slightly, about 2 more minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Add the cream and nutmeg and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs, adding the asparagus during the last minute of cooking. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and asparagus.
- Add the cheese to the cream sauce and stir to combine. Add the pasta and asparagus and toss to coat, adding some of the reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with more cheese.

CHICKEN CREPES WITH ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Make filling:
- Heat 5 tablespoons butter in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until foam subsides. Whisk in flour and cook roux, whisking, until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Gradually add milk and broth, whisking, and bring to a boil, whisking. Reduce heat and simmer gently, whisking frequently, until velouté sauce is silky and thick, about 25 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup sauce for topping.
- Cook shallot in remaining tablespoon butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Stir into velouté sauce along with chicken and Sherry.
- Cut tips from asparagus and set aside. Cut enough stalks into 1/4-inch pieces to measure 1 cup, reserving remainder for another use. Cook tips in a saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water with a slotted spoon. Scoop out tips and drain on paper towels, then reserve for topping. Cook and drain chopped asparagus in same manner and stir into velouté sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make crêpes:
- Sift together flour, salt, nutmeg, and pepper to taste into a bowl. Whisk together milk, whole egg, and yolk in a small bowl, then gradually whisk into flour mixture. Force batter through a fine sieve into a bowl.
- Heat a dry 7- to 8-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot, then brush very lightly with some melted butter. Spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into skillet, tilting to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.) Cook until underside is lightly browned, 6 to 10 seconds, then loosen crêpe with a spatula and flip. Cook until just cooked through, about 20 seconds, and transfer to a plate. Make 15 more crêpes in same manner, brushing skillet with melted butter as needed and stacking crêpes on plate.
- Assemble and bake crêpes:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spread 1/4 cup filling across center of 1 crêpe and roll into a cylinder. Transfer, seam side down, to buttered baking dish, then assemble more crêpes in same manner, fitting them snugly. Bake in middle of oven 15 minutes.
- Make topping while crêpes bake:
- Stir together yolk, 2 tablespoons cream, and reserved 1/2 cup sauce until smooth. Beat remaining 3 tablespoons cream with a whisk until it holds soft peaks, then fold into yolk mixture.
- Spoon topping over crêpes and broil 5 to 6 inches from heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
- Heat butter in skillet, then add reserved asparagus tips and toss until warm.
- Put 2 crêpes on each of 8 plates and top with asparagus tips.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
- Don't Overcook the Asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked asparagus will lose its flavor and texture.
- Make the White Wine Brie Sauce Ahead of Time: This sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
- Serve the Crepes Immediately: Crepes are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that they are warm and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Asparagus prosciutto crepes with white wine brie sauce are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a special meal to impress your friends or family, give this recipe a try.
