How to Make Baked Cheese Crepes Giada De Laurentiis

1. Prepare the crepe batter: In a blender, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Blend until smooth.
2. Cook the crepes: Heat a lightly oiled 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet, swirling to create a thin crepe. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
3. Prepare the cheese filling: In a bowl, combine 1 cup ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 egg, and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble the crepes: Spread a thin layer of the cheese filling onto each crepe. Roll up tightly.
5. Bake the crepes: Arrange the rolled crepes in a greased 8x8 inch baking dish. Pour 1/2 cup of marinara sauce over the crepes. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese.
6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
