Ingredients
  

For the Crepes
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
For the Filling
  • 1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Small skillet
  • large bowl
  • 8-in. nonstick skillet
  • Wire rack
  • Muffin tin

Method
 

  1. For the crepe batter, in a small bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and butter. Combine flour and salt; add to the egg mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. In a small skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and mayonnaise. Stir in the sausage mixture and cheese; set aside.
  3. Heat a lightly greased 8-inch nonstick skillet. Stir the crepe batter; pour 2 tablespoons into the center of the skillet. Lift and tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Cook until the top appears dry; turn and cook for 15-20 seconds longer.
  4. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.
  5. Line greased muffin cups with crepes; fill two-thirds full with the sausage mixture. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Cover loosely with foil; bake for 10-15 minutes longer or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
