this is a favorite at my house:





veggie crepes





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)





1. Stir sour cream, 1/4 cup chives, milk, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.


2. 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.


3. 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.
