Irish Reuben Crepes
Breakfast of champions? Perhaps. It all started visiting one of my favorite Irish restaurants. I was introduced to an Irish Quesadilla, and the change of bread left not much lacking. Then, when researching Shrove Tuesday customs in Ireland, I came across the fact that on the Tuesday before the Lenten fast, the Irish often serve pancakes and crepes. The idea was born. Why not enfold this delectable sandwich, into an Irish crepe? Tired of Irish potato Boxty pancakes and care to switch it up? Trying to use up your left over corned beef and sauerkraut from St. Patrick's Day. This is your recipe my friends. Try it and let us know how you enjoy it!
