Special Tools
Directions
- Put the 2 large eggs in a blender with 3/4 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of flour, 2 tbsp of melted butter, 1/4 tsp of salt, and ½ tsp pepper. Process until smooth. Pour the batter into a bowl or container. Cover and let stand for about 1 hour or refrigerate the batter for up to 12 hours.
- Turn on your Country Smokers Griddle. Heat and lightly butter (or oil) the cooking surface. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the Griddle and evenly spread it in a circle. You want just enough to coat the area.
- Cook the crepe until the edges begin to appear browned. Using a thin spatula, carefully lift the crepe and flip over. Cook for a few more seconds, or just until lightly browned.
- Remove the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Separate crepes with sheets of waxed paper.
Cooking Instructions
- Dice the apples and squeeze the lemon juice onto the diced apples, set aside.
- Add the bacon to the griddle and cook until crispy.
- Melt the 2 tbsp of butter on your Country Smokers Griddle and add the apples to the butter. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the brie to the apples. If you have a metal dome, you can cover the mixture to help melt the cheese quicker.
- Slowly melt the cheese into the apples, once the cheese is almost fully melted add two cups of arugula and mix. **If you melt the cheese at too hot or high of a temp it will curdle. It will still taste good but won’t be as ooey-gooey as you may want.
- Remove the mixture from the griddle and place it into a bowl.
- Crack the bacon up into chunks and add it to your cheesy goodness mixture.
- Place a small amount of arugula onto the crepe, then add 3 tbsp-ish of the mixture onto the crepe and fold.
- Plate and repeat until all crepes have been filled. If you have left over filling spoon it onto the top or sides of the crepes.
- If you’d like to add a garnish, feel free to add some more arugula and/or bacon onto the plate or crepe. Viola!
