Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for the crepes.
- Sauté Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the onions, cooking them until they are soft and translucent. Sprinkle with seasoned salt to enhance their flavor.
- Assemble the Crepes: Lay out the crepes on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the cooked onions over the crepes, followed by the shredded roast beef. Fold each crepe in half to encase the filling.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the folded crepes in a shallow baking pan, arranging them snugly. Cover the pan with aluminum foil to retain moisture while heating.
- Heat in Oven: Bake the crepes in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are heated through.
- Mix the Sauce: While the crepes are warming, prepare the sauce by mixing together the sour cream, horseradish, salt, and paprika in a small bowl until well combined.
- Serve: Once heated, remove the crepes from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate. Generously spoon the sour cream mixture over the top, and they’re ready to enjoy!
