Tuesday Night Dinner

Lou picked the meal this time. The meal turned out nice, but it would have turned out so much better had I been able to find crepes.  I walked all over the store looking for them and even asked the people who worked there for help. When I asked them where the Crepes were they looked at me like I was from Mars, although, I knew that would be the case before I asked. lol  At first they thought I was saying grapes, one girl said she would go look and I never saw her again. Oh the drama of finding crepes.  So I used flatbread instead.

I know I can make  my own crepes, so maybe I will try to do that in the future.

Anyway, here is how my Creamy Ham and Arugula (flatbread) Crepes turned out.






Creamy Ham and Arugula Crepes

1/2 cup  reduced-fat  tub-style cream cheese
2 Tablespoons fat-free milk
2 scallions (green part only) thinly sliced
8 Crepes
8 (1 oz) slices lean Black Forest ham
1 small bunch arugula, trimmed

Whisk together cream cheese and milk in small bowl until smooth. Stir in scallions.
Place 1 crepe on work surface, prettiest side down. Spread 1 rounded Tablespoon of cream cheese mixture over half of crepe closed to you. Top with 1 slice of ham and 1/4 cup of arugula; roll up jelly roll style. Repeat, making a total of 8 filled crepes. Cut 2 of the crepes in thirds. Serve and enjoy. For a side item tomato wedges go well  :)  




This is how they were suppose to look with the crepes.

Note to Lou:  The new rule is you must mail me the ingredients that are hard to find in a small town first before we make the meal!! Haha

I think you have to make crepes. I've never seen them ready-made in my suburban Chicago supermarkets.

Looks yummy! I haven't had crepes in years. I love how light they are but I am sure it was good with the flatbread too.
