Cheesecake Crepe Rollups | allrecipes.com
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- ¼ cup mixed frozen berries, slightly thawed
- 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, or as needed
Directions
Whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, honey, and salt in a bowl to make a smooth batter.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick crepe pan over medium heat until the foam disappears. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the batter into the pan, and swirl to cover the bottom of the pan with a thin layer of batter.
Cook until the crepe is no longer runny, about 1 minute; flip and cook the other side for an additional 1 minute. Repeat with additional butter and crepe mix, to make 4 crepes. Set the crepes aside on paper towels.
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar to make a creamy spread. Very gently stir in the berries. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crepes and roll up. Refrigerate until chilled; slice in 1-inch sections to serve.

Filet Mignons with Pepper Cream Sauce | allrecipes.com
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coarsely crushed black peppercorns
- 4 (6 oz) 1 ½-inch thick filet mignon steaks
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
Directions
Place the peppercorns into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle the beef tenderloin filets with salt on both sides, and coat both sides with crushed peppercorns.
Melt the butter with the olive oil over high heat in a heavy skillet (not nonstick) until the foam disappears from the butter. Gently place the steaks in the pan, and cook until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 3 1/2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks to platter, and cover tightly with foil.
Pour the beef broth into the skillet, and use a whisk to stir the broth and scrape up any dissolved brown flavor bits from the skillet. Whisk in the cream, and simmer the sauce until it’s reduced and thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Place the steaks back in the skillet, turn to coat with sauce, and serve with the remaining sauce.
