Despite having made five recipes from this issue, there are several more that I want to try. I filtered out high cal. recipes and ones that are similar to others that we have tried. Since this recipe didn't have a suggested side, I choose roasted asparagus.
I didn't pick a dessert. I hope you all give this a try.

Thinly sliced scallion greens
Preheat broiler to high with rack
6 inches from element. Arrange
four individual broiler-safe baking
dishes on a baking sheet; lightly
coat with nonstick spray.
Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a sauté
pan over medium-high heat. Add
mushrooms and cook until brown
and moisture evaporates, 10–15
minutes; transfer to a bowl. Reduce
heat to medium; add remaining
4 Tbsp. butter. Add scallion whites,
light greens, and cayenne; cook
until scallions soften, 2–3 minutes.
Sprinkle flour into pan and cook
1 minute, stirring constantly.
Slowly whisk in milk, broth,
and 1/2 cup sherry until smooth.
Simmer sauce until thick, about
15 minutes; season with additional
sherry, lemon juice, salt, and
black pepper. Reserve 3/4 cup
sauce for topping; whisk in
1/2 cup Manchego
Stir chicken, peas, pimentos, and
mushroom mixture into remaining
sauce in sauté pan; simmer to heat
through, 3–5 minutes.
To assemble crêpes, spread
about 1/2 cup chicken filling down
center of one crêpe; roll into a
cylinder. Repeat filling and rolling
with remaining crêpes. Arrange
two filled crêpes, seam side down,
in each prepared baking dish.
Divide and spread reserved
Manchego sauce mixture over
crêpes, then sprinkle with
remaining 1 cup Manchego.
Broil crêpes until lightly browned
and bubbly, 2–3 minutes. Garnish
each serving with scallion greens.
