Ingredients--
Crepes:
1/4 cup liquid egg substitute
1/4 cup unsweetened original almond milk
2 tablespoons Gluten Free Flour Mix (or your favorite gluten free flour blend)
a few fresh thyme leaves
3-4 fresh basil leaves
1-2 tablespoons fresh parsley
2-3 tarragon leaves
Salt & Pepper
Asparagus Filling:
12-14 asparagus spears, ends removed
Salt & Pepper
1 Light Swiss Laughing  Cow Cheese Wedge, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons parmesan cheese, grated

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 8 or 9 inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray.

2. To make the crepe batter-- add liquid egg substitute, milk, and flour to food processor. Pulse until smooth.



4. Add fresh herbs and pulse just until herbs are chopped and incorporated into batter.



5. Spray a 10-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan with nonstick spray and heat over medium-low heat.
 
6. Use a 1/4 measuring cup to measure a scant 1/4 cup of the batter. Pour into preheated skillet and quickly tilt the pan to form an even coating on the bottom of the pan.

8. Cook for 2-3  minutes more, until cooked through and slightly golden on both sides, transfer crepe to a plate.
 

 
9. Repeat with the remaining batter, respraying the pan after each crepe. You should end up with  3 crepes (the 3rd crepe may be slightly smaller).
 
10. While the crepes, are cooking, place asparagus on a rimmed microwave safe plate and add toss with a few teaspoons of water. Microwave asparagus 40-60 seconds or until tender. Remove from microwave and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
 


11. Once all of the crepes are cooked, lay them flat on a cutting board.



12. Spread about 1/3 of the cheese wedge in the center of each crepe.



13. Place 3-4 asparagus spears on the lower half of each crepe.
