Recipe Description:
Crêpes aren’t just for dessert—they make a quick and savory weeknight dinner.
Here they’re filled with ricotta cheese, green beans, zucchini and corn
and topped with a chive-cream sauce. Don’t skip the step of placing a
piece of parchment or wax paper under each crêpe as you fill it—without
it, the crêpes are tricky to roll. Serve with: A tossed salad.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh chives, divided, plus more for garnish
- 3 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups chopped zucchini
- 1 1/4 cups chopped green beans
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels (from 1 large ear; see Tip)
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 4 9-inch “ready-to-use” crêpes (see Tip)
Recipe Steps:
- Stir sour cream, 1/4 cup chives, milk, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini,
green beans and corn and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, 6 to
8 minutes. Reduce heat to low; stir in ricotta, Monterey Jack, the
remaining 1/4 cup chives, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Cook, stirring gently, until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat. - To roll crêpes, place one on a piece of parchment or wax paper (or leave it on the piece of plastic
separating the crêpes in the package). Spoon one-fourth of the
vegetable-cheese mixture (about 3/4 cup) down the center of the crêpe.
Use the paper (or plastic) to help you gently roll the crêpe around the
filling. Place the crêpe seam-side down on a dinner plate. Repeat with
the remaining crêpes and filling. Serve each crêpe topped with 2
tablespoons of the reserved sauce and more chives, if desired.
Recipe Tips & Notes:
- Tips: To remove kernels, stand a cob on its stem end in a bowl and slice them off with a sharp, thin-bladed knife.
- “Ready-to-use” crêpes are fast and convenient. Look for them in the produce section of
the market or near refrigerated tortillas.
