Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 ounces unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 1/2 ounces all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fresh herbs (parsley, tarragon or chives), finely chopped
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped chives
2 ounces provolone, shredded
Nonstick cooking spray or very cold butter, for the pan
1 1/2 ounces Parmesan, shredded

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 CREPE CAKE

Categories     main-dish

Time 51m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup diced yellow onions
3 tablespoons butter
2/3 pound shiitakes, stemmed and sliced thinly
1/3 pound creminis, 1/2 thinly sliced, 1/2 fine diced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 ounces milk
1/2 cup mild white cheese, mozzarella or provolone, shredded
Savory crepes, recipe follows
2 tablespoons chives, thinly sliced
1/4 cup Parmesan, shredded
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped herbs, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes
Butter, for coating the pan

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sweat the onion. Add all the mushrooms and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Season with salt and pepper and cook until mushrooms are soft. Add the milk and reduce by half. Add the provolone and melt. The consistency we're looking for is similar to that of a potpie.
  • On a buttered sheet pan layer two crepes. This way if the bottom one sticks you can still remove your "cake" from the pan. Spread a thin layer of the filling onto the crepe. Sprinkle a few chives on each layer. Top with another crepe and spread more mushroom filling on top. Repeat this method until you are out of filling. Top with another crepe and sprinkle on Parmesan. Place under broiler until Parmesan is melted and golden brown. Place onto a cutting board and slice into wedges. Serve immediately.
  • In a blender, combine all of the ingredients (excepting the butter for coating the pan) and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.
  • Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling

Tips:

  • Mise en place is key: Prepare all ingredients and utensils before starting to cook.
  • Use a nonstick skillet for cooking the crepes to prevent sticking.
  • Cook the crepes over medium heat to prevent burning.
  • Flip the crepes carefully to avoid tearing.
  • Keep the cooked crepes warm in a low oven or on a warm plate.
  • For the mushroom duxelles, use a variety of mushrooms for added flavor and texture.
  • Sauté the mushrooms until they are tender and caramelized.
  • Season the mushroom duxelles to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  • To assemble the crepe purses, place a spoonful of mushroom duxelles in the center of each crepe.
  • Fold the crepes in half, then in half again to form a triangle.
  • Secure the crepe purses with a toothpick or a small piece of twine.
  • Pan-fry the crepe purses in butter until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the crepe purses immediately with your favorite accompaniments.

Conclusion:

These crepe purses with mushroom duxelles are a delicious and elegant appetizer or main course. They are perfect for special occasions or a romantic dinner. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a unique and flavorful recipe, give these crepe purses a try. You won't be disappointed!
