Mount. Crepe Bake

Mount. Crepe Bake


 For those of you that are unfamiliar with crepes, they are basically really thin French pancakes.
They can be made to be a sweet dessert or a savory treat.


Make a crepe batter, one of your own creation or a trusted one off the web.

   i can’t recall the ratios i used to make my crepe batter, but it came out to a really nice consistency. i added some Dill Weed and Garlic Salt, just enough to make the crepe savory. i got about 7 or 8, five-six inch, crepes out of the batter i made (i was using a six inch skillet). Six layers of a Six inch skillet should feed 2 for a light breakfast and about 1 or 1 1/2 for dinner. 




Egg Mixture 1
2 eggs
Salt/Pepper
1/8 cup ranch dressing (mine was homemade, with milk, sour cream, dill weed, garlic, shredded cheddar cheese)
And also about 6 pieces of fried bacon cut into small bits and cheese wedges, enough for about 6 wedges a layer (I used Medium Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese).

Egg Mixture 2
1 egg
Salt/Pepper
1 tablespoon Milk




For this next step you’ll need a skillet that you can bake in (a baking dish will do fine also). I was able to use a cast-iron skillet. Normally I use cooking spray but with eggs I suggest using butter to oil your pan. Lay a crepe in the center of your dish. Sprinkle bacon and cheese slices over the crepe then followed by 2 table spoons of the first egg mixture. Repeat this layering until you reach the desired amount (I suggest about 5 or 6 layers). 





Once you finish your last layer pour the second egg mixture over the crepe layer mount. Bake at 375 for about 15-20 min or until it appears to be nice and golden, the base should be fluffy and look crisp.  


                                                      
Once you take it out of the oven it will be quite fluffy. Once it rests it will slightly reduce in size.



            
Here it is with my homemade ranch over the top.
It was quite good, and i'm not sure what to name it!
