- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 cooked French Crepes (1/2 recipe, page 140)
- 2 cups very well cooked, chopped broccoli (mixture of florets and stems, must be cooked soft)
- 2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (8 ounces)
- 1/4 teaspoon unsalted butter, plus extra for warming the crepes
Method

- Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes, or until soft.
- Add the broccoli and season with salt and pepper.

- Shortly before serving, arrange the crepes dark side down (the first side cooked is darker) on a clean work surface.
- Place 1/2 cup broccoli and 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese onto the center of each crepe.
- Fold one-third of the bottom up; then fold each side in toward the center to make an envelope.
- Fold the top of each crepe down to seal it.
- Heat the crepes in the butter in a crepe pan or on a griddle.
- Alternatively, bake them in a preheated 400F oven until the cheese is melted and the crepes are very warm.
- Consider assorted cheese, meat, and vegetable combinations.
- With ham, you could use Brie, Swiss, or Cheddar cheese, or that old standby Gruyere.
