The Chew: Crepe With Plums & Cream Cheese Filling

Because it’s been dare week on The Chew, each of the co-hosts have been challenged to take on a dare created by a viewer. When it came time for Mario Batali to complete a dare, he was challenged to complete a gourmet breakfast for a total of just $1! Additionally, Mario had to face several challenges while cooking, making things even more difficult. Miraculously, he came up with a recipe for a Crepe with Plums and Cream Cheese Filling. Despite being bound by handcuffs, Mario managed to turn this challenge into a recipe so good, it’s as if he planned it the whole time!
