Crepe's with yummy cheese and berries

Posted by Penny Moline on Thursday, July 29, 2010 Under: Breakfast
Crepe Batter:
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon melted bitter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla or lemon extract
Melted butter for your pan

Sift the dry ingredients together.  Combine the wet ingredients.  Add together and mix until batter is smooth.  Let rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.  You can store this for up to 12 hours.
Heat your crepe pan or small omlette pan.  Brush with butter.  Add enough crepe batter to coat the bottom of the pan give it a swirl and a a twril to ensure it is coated.  Reduce your heat until the bottom has a little bit of color.  Using a rubber spatula loosen the crepe off the bottom of the pan and turn over.  Cook until a little bit of color.  Stack the crepes between layers of waxed paper as you make more.

Cheese Filling:
1 1/2 cup cottage cheese
3 ounces cream cheese softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla or lemon extract

Place the cream cheese in a food processor or blender or a stand mixer for that matter and blend until smooth.  Add cottage cheese and blend until very smooth.  Stir in a bowl the sugar, eggs and vanilla and add the cream cheese and cottage cheese by hand.  Keep this in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Coulis:
1 pound fresh or frozen berries, strawberries, raspberries, blue berries, marion berries any that float your boat or a combo of them
3/4 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Combine berries, sugar and lemon juice and cook on the stove until the sugar has dissolved.  Taste and add more sugar if needed. ( If it turns out too thin for you... add a slurry of corn starch and cold water and place back on the stove.  1 teaspoon to 2 teaspoons of corn starch to the same amount of cold water.)

Cooking with Passion


Penny Moline A little about myself to get started..I got my first job cooking at the age of 14..at the snack bar across the street from my high school.. I am a graduate of an ACF (American Culinary Federation) Culinary Arts program...I have a degree with honors in Culinary Arts.... I have been teaching at a local college since 2002.( Oh and I was lucky enough to get to go to Paris and take a pastry and danish class too). During the 2002 winter Olympics I was the Executive. Pastry chef at the only fine dining restaurant in the media center. That was so exciting. I have worked in fine dining restaurants, and worked for a manufacturing rep company.. I was the product specialist for Kitchenaid and Weber grills...and got to do the training on my two wonderful products. Tough job...but someone got be be lucky enough to do it! Everything I have done... I have loved! Teaching has been the greatest. What a dream job. I have students that want to learn all they can about cooking. Our school is a production based program, which allows the students to get a lot of hands on training. We run a restaurant that serves fresh bread of the day, soup, salad, (and salad bar), an ever changing entree and dessert daily. So the students not only makes bread from scratch once or twice like some schools they make it more than a dozen times before their rotation is changed. I know we are doing a great job as the local police eat there almost daily. Plus...my program is full and we now have a waiting list to get in. Not too shabby I would say. Several of our students have won national and local cooking and baking awards... what can I say? I love to cook.... I really love my job...and I would like to feed the world with one recipe at a time! I It is really rewarding to love what you do...and to have passion for it. You don't have to make pretentious food to make good food. You just need to use fresh ingredients...and use what is in season. Most importantly...you need to love to eat...and then the passion for cooking is there...Don't let cooking intimidate . you...YOU CAN COOK...and remember this KISS (keep it simple silly)..
