Savory Southwestern Crepes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 pound ground pork sausage
    1 small onion, diced
    1 red bell peppers, seeded and diced
    2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
    1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
    5 eggs
    6 egg whites
    1/4 cup milk
    1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
    salt and pepper to taste
    6 egg yolks
    3/4 cup butter
    2 lemons, juiced
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 egg
    2 cups milk
    1 pinch paprika, for garnish
    1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
Preparation
    In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat. When sausage is half cooked through, drain off most of the fat. Add onion, red pepper, mushrooms and cilantro; cook until vegetables are tender and sausage is browned. Remove sausage and vegetables from pan, leaving a slight coating of oil.
    Whisk together 5 eggs, egg whites, 1/4 cup milk and cheese. Return skillet to medium-high heat and pour in egg mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are set. Remove from heat but keep warm.
    In a double boiler, over medium heat, combine egg yolks, butter and lemon juice. Whisk continuously (watch the heat or it will curdle). Remove from burner when butter has completely melted.
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, egg and milk. Pour mixture through a fine sieve to eliminate lumps. Heat a non-stick crepe pan on medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray and pour about 1/3 cup of batter in the pan. Rotate the pan to spread a paper thin amount of batter around the pan. Flip when it starts to bubble and cook until golden on both sides. Repeat until all batter is used.
    To assemble: Place one crepe on a plate, spoon eggs and sausage mixture down the middle of the crepe from top to bottom (like a taco) and fold over in a half circle. Top with Hollandaise sauce and sprinkle with a little paprika. Serve with a scoop of salsa on the side.
