Flip once bubbled on top.
Plate when done with crepe.

Snap (or cut) asparagus and place on a baking sheet with mushrooms and season with the same season used on mushrooms.
Place the baking sheet into the oven and cook for 15 minutes or until your desired taste is achieved.

Ratings
Taste: 9
This dish had multiple flavors within it. The crunchy asparagus made the dish so much more appetizing. The cheese really was a good choice because it was stringy and really gave it flavor. The pesto and the seasonings/spices made the dish come together like a bow on a present. I feel like the chicken could’ve been chopped more but it was still really good. I really enjoyed this dish and I will be making 100%!
Smell: 10
The smell of this dish was amazing. It truly gave a really yummy smell mostly because of the pesto.
Visual appearance: 7 ½
I think the appearance needed work mostly because this is our first time making this so we just need to practice (making the crêpe).
Creativity: 9
We came up with the idea based on a restaurant menu from Richmond but created towards our own artistic abilities and we also used a different cheese, meat, and seasoning.
