Crepes Aux Fines Herbes

Submitted by Leslie in Texas

"Another great recipe from my friend, Gaye. These crepes will enhance any seafood or poultry filling. I use them when I make Gaye's recipe for Chicken Crepes in Sherried Mornay Sauce,#225193. You can place waxed or parchment paper between each crepe and freeze them for later use. Prep time does not include refrigerated time."

I didn't make the crepes but I needed a recipe for fines herbes and this one seemed the most genuine accoding to the Zaar kitchen dictionary. Worked beautifully as chicken seasoning.
