Ingredients

Green Goddess Dressing

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lemon
2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
3 anchovy fillets
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 recipe Basic Crepe Batter (page 104)
10 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
Extra-virgin olive oil

B.L.T. Salad

10 bacon slices
10 plum tomatoes, sliced in 1/4-inch circles
1/2 pound mixed greens
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Puree the dressing ingredients in a blender until creamy and light green. Cover and refrigerate.

    Step 2

    Make the crepes as indicated in the basic recipe. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Mash half the goat cheese in a bowl to soften. Drizzle a cookie sheet with a little oil and lay 2 crepes side by side on the pan. Smear the crepes with a thin even layer of the goat cheese. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until crisp like a thin pizza.

    Step 3

    While the crepes bake, fry the bacon over medium-low heat until crisp on both sides. Put the bacon on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Tear the bacon into big pieces and put them in a bowl; add the tomatoes and greens. Season with salt and pepper and give everything a toss. Drizzle the salad with 1/4 cup of the Green Goddess dressing. Put a handful of salad in the center of each crepe. Garnish with chunks of the remaining goat cheese and several turns of freshly ground black pepper.
