Lemon Souffle Crepes - can I prepare ahead?   Go to last post Go to last unread

Hi, I'm thinking of making crepes filled with lemon souffle mixture for a dinner party - (from the Time Life cookbook)  I've made these before, but always whipped the egg whites and filled the crepes at the last minute.  I've been trying to decide how far I can prepare these ahead of time.  I know some say that a souffle can be prepared ahead and refrigerated (including the egg whites), so one option is to do that and then fill the crepes just before baking.  But I wonder if I can refrigerate the filled crepes, bring them to room temperature and then bake.  I'd love to hear your views! Thank you

I'm probably too late for your dinner party, but I would suspect that the filling will ooze if left too long prepared in the crepes. Hope you have a lovely (stressfree) dinner!

Thank you so much for your reply. I did whip the whites at the last minute and fill them - it didn't take long. But last night we had left over crepes filled with left over soufflé (been in the frig for 24 hours) and the soufflé mixture was still perfect and the finished dish tasted exactly the same! Worth keeping in mind if necesssary.
