6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Stir in 1/2 cup cheese, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper and salt until cheese is melted. Stir in broccoli. Cover; keep warm. , Preheat oven to 350°. Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir batter. Fill a 1/4-cup measure halfway with batter; pour into the center of pan. Quickly lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn crepe over and cook until bottom is cooked, 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed. , Spoon about 1/2 cup filling down the center of each crepe; roll up. Place seam side down in an ungreased 11x7-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted, 5-7 minutes.
