FRENCH CREPES WITH BECHAMEL

This recipe comes from MC^2 Creative Living. I'm reviewing the crepes and bechamel only, not the filling. I used one large boneless skinless chicken breast, baked, shredded and chopped, mixed with cooked and chopped broccoli florets, about one teaspoon cooked onion, dash of garlic powder, salt and pepper. I filled each crepe (this mixture was enough for 4) with filling, topped it with a little Monterey Jack cheese and sauce, then rolled it up, covered the top in more sauce and cheese then baked them for 12 minutes. 

The crepes turned out great. I used 1/4 c. batter in a pan with a 7" bottom and each one took 2 minutes to cook over medium-high heat. It made 8. The sauce is basic and easy to make. I didn't use nearly as much salt as called for and it was thinner than I wanted it so next time I'll use less milk, at least a couple tablespoons worth.

I give the crepes 5 stars but the bechamel 4.5 stars because it's a little too thin.
