Tour de Crepes (Tower of Crepes)

After a crepe breakfast, we were left with a mound of crepes. And when you have a mound, why not turn it into a tower?

How to assemble? A "Tour de Crepes" consists of multiple crepe layers separated with alternating fillings and assembled with a light and flavorful cheese flour sauce.




The tower is then topped with a sauce that bakes into a crispy crust, and is then served in slices like that of a cake with a garlic and pepper tomato sauce.


The tower came out quite beautiful. Each slice had alternating colors which popped out against the red sauce, an effect that I unfortunately couldn't quite capture with my camera.
Amazingly, it topped its own beauty with an even better taste. The tower tasted like a flavorful quiche, one that melted in your mouth while all the flavors blended together beautifully, only without being overwhelmed or overshadowed by a buttery crust. David, after one bite, said it was probably the best dish I've made to date. Now, THAT's something.
