Preparation
- Step 1
Mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, cumin and cayenne in a mixing bowl or food processor. Add the milk, club soda, eggs and three tablespoons of the melted butter. Beat or process until blended and smooth. Allow to rest for 30 minutes.
- Step 2
Heat a six- to seven-inch crepe pan over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with oil. Ladle a few tablespoons of batter into the pan and quickly tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Cook until lightly browned on the bottom, about 30 seconds, turn the crepe and cook a few seconds more. Continue until all the batter is used, stacking the cooked crepes one on top of the other on a plate.
- Step 3
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a baking dish with a little of the remaining melted butter.
- Step 4
Place a slice of the chevre in the center of each crepe. Top with a teaspoon of the pepper jelly. Fold the sides of the crepe over the filling, making a small square bundle. Tie each with a blanched chive. Arrange the folded and tied crepes in a single layer in the baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining melted butter.
- Step 5
Bake until heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. If desired, the filled crepes can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until shortly before serving time, then heated.
