Best 4 Crepes With Smoked Salmon And Lemon Herb Sour Cream Recipes

CREPES WITH SMOKED SALMON, RICOTTA, RED ONION AND CAPERS WITH LEMON CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• For the crepes: Combine the milk, flour, sugar, salt, eggs and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a blender and blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before using or transfer to a container with a lid and let rest in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
• For the lemon creme fraiche: Whisk together the creme fraiche, lemon zest and juice and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the herbed ricotta and topping: Put the ricotta, chives, dill, parsley, lemon zest and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl and work together with a fork.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with some of the remaining melted butter. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the crepe batter and swirl the skillet so the batter completely covers the bottom. Cook until the underside of the crepe is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Loosen the edge of the crepe with a rubber spatula, then with your fingertips, quickly flip. Cook 1 minute more. Slide the crepe out of the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, coating the skillet with butter as needed. Stack the finished crepes directly on top of each other.
• Lay 8 crepes on a flat surface. Smear about 1/4 cup herbed ricotta in a wide strip down the center of each. Top with 2 or 3 slices of salmon, then gather the sides of each crepe around the filling, leaving most of the filling exposed. Scatter some onion slices and capers over the filling, then drizzle some lemon creme fraiche on top. Scatter some dill fronds on top and serve.

HERBED CREPES WITH SMOKED SALMON AND RADISHES

Steps:

• Make crêpes:
• Blend milk, flour, egg, and 2 teaspoons oil in a blender until smooth. Add chives and dill and pulse 1 or 2 times to just combine. Chill batter, covered, 30 minutes.
• Stir batter to redistribute herbs. Lightly brush a 10-inch nonstick skillet with oil, then heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Holding skillet off heat, pour in half of batter (1/4 cup), immediately tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.) Return skillet to heat and cook until crêpe is just set and pale golden around edges, 10 to 15 seconds. Loosen edge of crêpe with a heatproof plastic spatula, then flip crêpe over carefully with your fingertips. Cook until underside is set, about20 seconds more. Transfer crêpe to a plate. Make another crêpe in same manner, brushing skillet again with oil.
• Prepare filling and assemble hors d'oeuvre:
• Stir together cream cheese, lemon juice, zest, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
• Put 1 crêpe, browned side up, on a work surface, and spread with all of cheese mixture. Arrange salmon in an even layer over bottom half of crêpe (side nearest you), then scatter radishes over salmon. Beginning at bottom, tightly roll up crêpe, then cut roll crosswise into 4 pieces, trimming ends if desired.

BREAKFAST CREPES WITH SAVORY EGGS, SMOKED SALMON AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Crepes -- I won't go through the whole recipe here, but you can use your favorite recipe or buy them pre-made. If they are frozen just, thaw in the fridge and then I reheat by simply wrapping them in a damp paper towel in the microwave for just a few seconds. Or you can wrap in foil and reheat in the oven on 325 for just 5 minutes or so. You just want them warm and plyable, not steaming hot.
• Sauce -- In a small pot, add the butter, flour and milk and whisk well until combined. Bring to medium heat and continue stirring until well combined. DON'T boil as you do not want to scald/burn the milk. Bring to a light boil stirring often. The sauce will thicken. Reduce to low and add the lemon, dill, salt and pepper. Just keep on low while you cook the eggs.
• Eggs -- In a medium non-stick sauce pan, add the butter and bring to medium heat. Add in the shallots and cook 1-2 minutes just to soften them up a bit. Then, in a medium size bowl, whisk the eggs very well and add in a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the eggs to the sauce pan with the onions, stir, and let them cook on medium low heat 3-4 minutes until slightly set and then stir. Add in the Boursin or herb cheese and stir to combine. It will take another 3-4 minutes for the cheese to melt and the eggs to finish cooking. Stir often. DON'T overcook the eggs - you want a soft scramble, as they will continue to cook once removed from the heat.
• Salmon -- Buying it in a package it should already be thin sliced and ready to use.
• Crepes -- Add 1/4 of the eggs to each warm crepe, top with smoked salmon and roll. Place 1-2 crepes per plate and top with the warm lemon dill sauce, a sprig of dill, a dollop or spoon of sour cream, and a little caviar. ENJOY!
