Spinach & Asiago Crepes image

NB There was a wrong amount for the mace in the recipe - It said 1 tsp. It is now corrected to the correct amount of 1/4 tsp. Easy Tasty appetizer. Can be a "Do ahead" recipe. If you wish you can make this as a side dish for dinner just double the size of the crepes. The crepes as appetizers should be apprx 6" across. The recipe may be cut in half or doubled. Make a large batch of crepes they freeze really well. Just layer them with wax paper between each and wrap well in plastic . Then you will have them on hand for any easy appetizer - Enjoy!
