Veggie Crepe Cake

Veggie Crepe Cake

When I think of crepes I think of nutella.  Yummm…

That is- until I made this crepe ‘cake.’- which isn’t really a cake at all.  But it sure is delicious!     

I think in general people are intimidated by crepes, but seriously they are so simple!  Promise.

I made crepes for breakfast and had some left over, what a dilemma!  After forcing myself not to eat them, I decided I better come up with something productive to do with them; so I combined them with a bunch of veggies and tada! Dinner is served!

So here we go!  What You Need:

For the crepes

4 tbl ground flax seed (or 4 eggs)

½ cup warm water

1 1/2 cups flour

3 tbl oil (coconut or veggie)

2 tbl sugar (optional)

1 1/2 cups almond milk (+more if needed to thin batter) – you can use any non-dairy milk (or  

                                                                          cow’s milk if you’re not vegan, it's your body!)

To Make Crepes

-          combine flax seed and warm water and let sit for a few minutes

-          combine the rest of ingredients

-          add in flax egg mixture

-          heat non-stick pan (add butter to a non-non-stick pan get it?)

-          ladle on the batter and turn pan to make one thin layer of batter

-          let cook for about a minute on each side- until it starts to brown

For the filling:

1 onion thinly sliced

8 oz mushrooms- sliced

3 zucchini (or 2 big ones)- Julianne

2 peppers –Julienne (any colour you like- Did you like how I added a ‘u’ to color to make  

                                                                   it French;-) I’m fancy like that)

Ps. You can use any veggies your taste buds enjoy, this is what I had in my fridge that night.

-          cook zucchini and mushrooms in pan until soft

-          cook onion and peppers in pan until soft (you may need to add a bit of oil to the pan for these).

-          Layer in spring form pan--pie dish (whatever) with crepes ---- This is how I layered

-crepe-1/2 of peppers/onion mixture—2crepes—1/2 of zucchini/mushroom mixture—2 crepes—1/2 of peppers/onion mixture—2crepeps—1/2 of zucchini/mushroom mixture—crepe.

You can layer in cheese in between (vegan cheese or not) or not, whatever- they’re your taste buds! 

350 in oven for 30 minutes

Serve! J Enjoy!
