FOUR-CHEESE ROLLS WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Four cheeses meld in an ethereal filling for rolled crêpes. Cherry tomatoes and basil strike a colorful accent. Serve these with snow peas and salad adorned with grapes or nasturtium blossoms.

Eight 6- or 7-inch buckwheat galettes or herb crêpes

FOUR-CHEESE FILLING
1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese
3/4 cup fresh white goat cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup shredded Gruyère or Jarlsberg cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup red cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup gold cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, sliced

Prepare the crêpes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

To make the filling: In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, goat cheese, Gruyère, Parmesan, egg, and nutmeg.

Spoon one-eighth of the filling down the center of each crêpe and make an envelope fold. Arrange in a greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Brush the tops of the crêpes with the olive oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Garnish with tomatoes and sprinkle with basil. Serve at once.

Makes 8 crêpes; serves 4.
