Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

12 herb crêpes
2 pounds asparagus
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated gruyère cheese
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter or oil two baking dishes. Steam the asparagus until tender, about five minutes. Divide into 12 portions, and place a portion on each crêpe. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, gruyère and chives. Roll up and place in the prepared baking dishes.
Sprinkle the Parmesan over the crêpes, and drizzle on the olive oil. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until bubbling; the edges of the crêpes should be just beginning to crisp. Serve hot.
