inverted crepe pan.) Invert pan over paper toweling; remove crepe.

Unfilled crepes freeze well, so if you have any remaining crepes,
store them in your freezer. Just make a stack, alternating each
crepe with 2 layers of waxed paper. Then overwrap the stack in a
moisture-vaporproof bag. Freeze up to 4 months. Let crepes thaw at
room temperatur about1 hour before using.

cup of the cheese sauce and set aside. Stir drained mushrooms into
remaining sauce.

peas, chicken/turkey, pimiento and the 1 cup reserved cheese sauce.
