Ingredients
Instructions
- Sauté the chopped onion in butter in a small skillet until tender.
- Combine the sautéed onion with the shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and mayonnaise in a bowl and mix well.
- Divide the mixture into 18 portions and shape each into a 4-inch log.
- Place a log on each crepe and roll up to enclose the filling.
- Arrange seam side down in a greased baking pan.
- Bake at 375°F just until the cheese melts.
- Cut each crepe into 3 pieces and serve as hors d'oeuvres.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider caramelizing the onions for a deeper sweetness. If you don't have sharp Cheddar, Gruyère or Monterey Jack can be great substitutes. For added spice, try incorporating diced jalapeños into the filling. Make sure to keep the crepes warm while preparing the filling, as this helps maintain their pliability.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious crepes as a delightful appetizer or hors d'oeuvre at your next gathering. They pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad or a tangy dipping sauce. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a bowl of A Pot Of Dried Beans Or Black-Eyed Peas for a satisfying balance.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the crepes in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through, or microwave briefly until hot. This will help retain their texture and prevent them from becoming soggy.
