Fruit-Filled Crepes
This dessert or special brunch dish is great for entertaining because it can be made in advance and popped in the oven just before serving. Strawberry-rhubarb filling is a lovely salute to the season and is also delicious as a topping for ice cream.

Twice-Baked Goat Cheese Soufflés on a Bed of Mixed Greens
