Here are a few
SAUSAGE-FILLED CREPES
Make your favorite crepe recipe. 18 to 20 serves 8. Cook 1 1/2 lbs. bulk sausage; drain. Add 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (mild), 5 oz. cream cheese and a little more than 1/8 teaspoon dried marjoram. I make this filling the day before, cover and refrigerate.
Place the filling (about 2 tablespoons) at one end of each; roll up. Line an 11 3/4 x 7 1/2 x 1 3/4 inch pan with foil and place the crepes on the foil. It keeps them from browning too much and drying out. Also put foil between layers.
Bake covered in 375 degree oven for approximately 40 minutes or until completely heated through. Serve with Cucumber Sauce.
