Recipe Introduction
"This twist on crepes is tart-sweet with a creamy lemon filling and juicy blackberries. Think of this as a cross between thin French toast, light crepes and crispy quesadillas." � Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois

◦ 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
◦ 6 tablespoons lemon curd, divided
◦ 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
◦ ⅛ teaspoon almond extract
◦ 2 large eggs

Recipe
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, 3 tablespoons lemon curd, lemon zest and extract until fluffy. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, cream and remaining lemon curd until blended; stir in poppy seeds. In a large cast iron or other heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Dip both sides of a tortilla in egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Place in skillet; toast until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding butter to grease the skillet as needed.
Spread about 3 tablespoons cream cheese mixture over each tortilla to within � inch of edges. Fold tortillas in half over filling. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine blackberries and spreadable fruit; microwave, covered, at 50% power until warmed, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once. Serve with tortillas and, if desired, additional lemon zest.
