Nutella & Bananas... with a rum flambe (and maybe a little vanilla ice cream)! My favorite sweet crepe! For a good savory crepe: spread on some Cream Cheese and some olive bruschetta mix and roll, chill, slice on the diagnal and serve cold... YUMMMMMM... and don't forget Manicotti... fill with ricotta, roll it up and top with a good sauce and mozzarella... Here's a good recipe for Manicotti Crepes... MUCH BETTER than Manicotti made with the pasta shells you buy in the store! Made with crepes they are nice and light and creamy... I don't have a crepe pan, I always use a cast iron round griddle (It was my grandmothers, she got it from her mother, and is over 100 years old, better than any non-stick pan you can buy now)...

This is also a simple sauce my Dad would make when I was growing up and use on chicken crepes. I still use it today. The previous recipe is just a fancier version of this, I think.
1 can cream of mushroom soup 1/4 can dry vermouth or dry white wine 1/4 can milk Parmesan cheese to taste.
Heat all ingredients together.
Assemble crepes. Cover with sauce then heat a little tomato sauce and pour lightly down the center of crepes.
Thia was always a favorite growing up.

another nice sweet crepe... Cored, peeled, sliced apples (I like to use Granny Smith's)... sauted in unsalted butter with cinnamon & nutmeg and some brown sugar til just slightly soft... and some black currants (or any dried fruit, like cranberries/blueberries/cherries/raisins, etc)... and roll the crepes... add some rum to the mixture, if desired... or flambe the final rolled crepes, even better... sweet crepes lend themselves to rum or cognac or brandy flambe's really well...
When I flambe them, I like to sprinkle the tops with a LITTLE white sugar... (maybe a scant 1/4 tsp. on top of each rolled crepe, no more, probably less)... so it just starts to carmelize into a fine light (tan'ish) crust...

Thanks Louise! Looking forward to the recipe! It's the only way to make a good/real Manicotti! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> Once you have had them made with a crepe... you'll never again make them with that boxed pasta! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Sick.gif" alt="" />
when I make Manicotti, I like to mix finely chopped crimini (AKA baby bella) mushrooms (1/4" pieces), parsley, a little italian seasoning, S&P (to taste) and one egg in with the ricotta...
