Place all the ingredients for the crepes in a blender and blend at medium speed until smooth. Set aside.
For the béchamel sauce:
Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring constantly with a spoon or whisk. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the milk, cheddar and garlic. Whisk until thick. Add a pinch of nutmeg, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Reserve some of the 2 cheeses (Asiago and Caciocavallo) for garnishing, and combine the remainder with a little béchamel sauce. Fill the crepes with the cheese mixture. Fold each crepe in half, then in half again. Spoon a ladleful of béchamel sauce into a baking dish and place the crepes on top. Garnish with diced tomatoes and reserved cheeses.
Bake for about 10 minutes and serve immediately.
