Apple, Brie, and Prosciutto Crepes
This is basically a classy open-faced pizza.
Recipe information
Yield
makes 10 (8-inch) crepes
Ingredients
1 recipe Basic Crepe Batter (page 104)
1 1/2 cups apple butter
1/2 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces Brie cheese, sliced, at room temperature
1 bunch watercress, thick stems discarded
1/2 bunch fresh chives, cut in 1-inch pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Make the crepes as indicated in the basic recipe. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Lay the crepes on a flat surface. Smear the crepes with the apple butter, about 2 tablespoons each. Lay 3 slices of prosciutto in a single layer across the crepes and then add some apple slices. Drizzle a cookie sheet with a little oil and lay 2 crepes side by side on the pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until crisp like a thin pizza. Take the crepes out of the oven and lay a few slices of the Brie on top so it melts slightly. Add a handful of watercress, some chopped chives, and several turns of freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with some olive oil before serving.
