Recipe from Food & Wine

These crepes are like free-form blintzes, with thick and creamy Greek-style yogurt standing in for the cheese filling and a quick topping made with preserves and frozen raspberries.

Directions
1.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/4 cup of the milk and the salt until blended. Whisk in the flour until the batter is smooth, then whisk in the remaining 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of the melted butter. Let the crepe batter stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
2.
In a small saucepan, combine the apricot preserves with the raspberries and lemon juice and cook over moderate heat until jammy, about 5 minutes. Cover and keep warm.
3.
In a bowl, mix the yogurt with the brown sugar and vanilla.
4.
Heat a 10-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet over moderate heat. Brush the pan with some of the melted butter. Pour in a scant 1/3 cup of the crepe batter and immediately rotate the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Cook the crepe until lightly browned on the bottom, about 45 seconds. Flip the crepe and cook until brown dots appear on the other side, about 15 seconds longer. Transfer the crepe to a large baking plate covered with parchment paper. Continue making crepes with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with the remaining melted butter as needed.
5.
Spoon 3 tablespoons of the yogurt onto each crepe and roll them up. Transfer to plates. Spoon the raspberry-apricot sauce on top and serve.

MAKE AHEAD
The crepes can be made ahead and stacked, then rewarmed in a microwave oven for about 20 seconds.
