Recipe Review

23rd February 2013

Zosia from Toronto, ON

A savoury crêpe cake that tastes like pizza…who wouldn’t love it!

Crespelle/crêpes are stacked with a thin layer of tomato sauce and a sprinkling of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses (and prosciutto, which I didn’t include) separating each. The “cake” is then baked briefly in the oven to heat it through.

The recipe includes directions for one of the author’s fabulous fresh tasting tomato sauces, this one flavoured with a little garlic and parsley, but any good tomato sauce would work as long as it’s not too chunky.

An excellent alternative to pasta and served with a salad, a very nice meal. Delicious hot or at room temperature.

Zosia, this looks wonderful! I have looked at that recipe a number of times over the years -- I think you have now inspired me to try it.

kateq, I hope you do make and enjoy it. It's definitely one of those recipes where the final dish is so much more than merely the sum of its parts.
