Pâtétaining: Ultra Savory Crepes
Crepes are a true French cuisine classic. Easy-to-make, they're the perfect canvas to showcase another famous French treat - creamy, savory pâtés!
Alexian pâtés make putting together flavorful crepes a snap. Fill a slightly crisp crepe with your favorite pate, then just roll it up! For something a little more elaborate, try these sure-to-please pâté and crepe pairings.
Campagne & Cucumber Crepe
For something savory yet refreshing, spread some our Campagne Pate on a crepe along with sliced cucumber, tomatoes, and a touch of Greek yogurt. The bold pâté flavor perfectly complements cool cucumber crunch.
Rillette with Sauteed Onions & Peppers
Our Duck Rillette is rich and full of flavor. Spread it inside a crepe and top with sautéed onions and bell peppers. The vegetables will cut through the savory creaminess, creating a gourmet sensation.
Black Peppercorn Mousse with Sharp Cheddar
Our Black Peppercorn Mousse is made from pork, eggs, chicken and turkey liver, onions, sherry, mushrooms, garlic, spices, vinegar, and - of course - crushed black peppercorn – making it a delicious pairing for sharp cheddar cheese. Inside a crepe, the combination is the perfect appetizer.
