  7. Set filled crpes, seams down and side by side, in a buttered shallow 3-quart casserole (9 by 13 in.).
  8. Bake in a 375 regular oven or 350 convection oven until hot in center, 15 to 20 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle remaining cheese in a band down center of crpes. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. With a wide spatula, transfer crpes to plates.
  10. Add salt to taste.
