Number Of Ingredients 19

3 eggs
1-1/2 cups 2% milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
FILLING:
1-1/2 cups cut fresh asparagus (1-inch pieces)
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon canola oil
2-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
3 cups cubed rotisserie chicken
SAUCE:
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 cups 2% milk
6 slices Swiss cheese, halved
2/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps:

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and butter. Combine flour and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour 1/4 cup batter into center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.
Saute asparagus and onion in oil until tender. Add mushrooms and cook 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and stir in chicken. Set aside.
For sauce, in a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Spread about 1/2 cup filling down the center of each crepe; top with 2 tablespoons sauce and 1 piece of Swiss cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in each of two greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dishes. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a bubbly.
Yield: 12 servings.
