Herb Crepes With Wild Mushrooms Recipes

MUSHROOM CREPES

Steps:

• For the crepes: Combine the eggs, milk, butter, salt and 1/2 cup water in the blender and blend for 7 to 10 seconds. Add the flour and blend until just combined, about 5 seconds, then stir in the herbs. Rest the batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• For the mushroom filling: Meanwhile, finely chop half of the shiitake and cremini mushrooms and set aside.
• Heat a 12-inch saute pan over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons butter. When it has melted, add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add all the mushrooms
• (sliced and chopped), salt and pepper to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and the entire mixture has reduced to about one third of its original volume, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the milk and cook until the mixture becomes a loose paste, about 2 minutes. Add the tarragon, chives and provolone and cook for another minute.
• Heat the oven to 200 degrees F or its lowest setting. And set a cooling rack inside a half-sheet
• pan.
• Place an 8-inch nonstick pan over medium-low heat and coat with cooking spray or 1 tablespoon butter. Pour 1 ounce of the batter into the center of the pan and swirl the pan to spread it around evenly. Cook for 30 seconds, or until the edges of the crepe begins to turn up. Flip (you can use a small offset spatula) and cook for another 10 seconds.
• Place the crepes in the oven on the cooling rack setup and cover with parchment until all the
• crepes are ready.
• Remove the crepes from the oven and turn broiler on high.
• Spread a thin layer of the mushroom mixture on a crepe. Top with Parmesan and another crepe. Transfer to a broiler-proof plate. Repeat with 1 more layer, finishing with Parmesan. Build another crepe on another broiler-proof plate. Put the plates into the oven (if they can fit) and broil until the cheese is just browned, about 1 minute.

MUSHROOM CREPES

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients for the crepe batter into a medium/large bowl. Mix with a hand (immersion) blender or in a stand blender until smooth. You can also just whisk it by hand.
• Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let stand for 30 minutes. While the batter is resting, prepare the filling.
• Prepare the ingredients: Cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch (5mm) slices (cut bigger mushrooms in half and then into slices). Chop the shallots, finely chop the garlic. Wash thoroughly spinach and chop it roughly into smaller pieces. Shred the cheese on the large holes of a box grater.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots, cook for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and thyme, cook for 30 seconds. Transfer the onion with garlic to a large bowl.
• Heat another 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat, add 1/2 of the mushrooms in an even layer. Don't stir for the first 1-2 minutes then stir from time to time and cook the mushrooms until the water is evaporated and the mushrooms are browned. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms. Transfer the mushrooms to the bowl with onions.
• Add the spinach to the pan and cook it briefly until lightly wilted. Transfer to the bowl.
• Add the shredded cheese to the bowl, season the filling with salt and pepper, stir until combined.
• Whisk the crepe batter before using. Add a small amount of butter (about 1/2 teaspoon) to a non-stick skillet/pancake pan and heat the butter over medium heat (high heat if you don't have a powerful stovetop) until it's melted and the pan is well-heated.
• Keeping the pan in your left hand (not on the burner) and the bowl with batter in your right hand, pour a small amount of batter into the pan, tilting and swirling the pan until a thin layer of batter coats the bottom of the pan. You can also pour in the batter with a measuring cup (1/4 cup) or with a ladle if that's more convenient for you, although the amount of batter needed will vary depending on the size of the pan.
• Cook the crepe for about 30 seconds or until the edges are looking dry and the bottom is light brown (lift the crepe with a spatula to check).
• Slide a flexible silicone spatula under the crepe and flip it on the other side. Cook for about 10 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Place some of the filling on one half of the crepe. Fold the crepe in half then again in half creating a triangle (you can also roll them up if you wish).
• Heat a small amount of butter in the pan, add the filled crepes and cook on both sides until golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
• Enjoy!

HERB CREPES WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Place milk, eggs, 1/3 cup flour, butter, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; combine well using a whisk or an immersion blender. Mixture should be the consistency of heavy cream. If mixture is too thin, add more flour. Add herbs and let stand 15 minutes.
• Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add a scant 1/4 cup batter and quickly swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook until edges begin to dry, about 1 minute. Using your fingers or tongs, turn crepe, continue cooking about 15 seconds more, and then transfer to a plate. Repeat process with remaining batter, stacking each crepe on top of one another as you work.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place all the mushrooms in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Spread mushrooms on a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer; transfer to oven and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
• Place a crepe flat on work surface. Spread 1 tablespoon cheese evenly over three-quarters of the crepe. Top with about 2 tablespoons mushrooms. Starting with the covered portion, roll crepe toward the uncovered portion and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Repeat process with 11 crepes and remaining cheese and mushrooms; reserve any remaining crepes for another use. Transfer filled crepes to oven until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place mustard greens and spinach in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup marmalade and season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Divide greens evenly between 6 plates and top each with 2 crepes. Spoon any remaining marmalade over crepes and serve immediately.
