Leftover Crab Dip Crêpes

Here’s one more nice and easy leftover crab dip idea: make savory Leftover Crab Dip Crêpes and serve with the leftover Snappy Green Salad. They work really well with any salad.

Make sure you taste one assembled before you make the whole batch, you may like to adjust the salt level or add a bit more basil, etc. to make these Cucumber Tea Sandwiches with Spinach Basil Mascarpone perfect for you. I like to stack them tall in squares on smaller plates and replenish them often. Again, there’s something about the small plates piled high with Cucumber Tea Sandwiches with Spinach Basil Mascarpone that makes the feel indulgent and elegant. … Continue reading
