Steps:
- For the mushroom crepes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the milk, flour, mushroom powder, eggs and salt to a blender. Blend to a thin batter consistency.
- Spray a nonstick skillet or crepe pan with vegetable spray and place over medium heat. Ladle 1/4 to 1/2 cup batter into the pan. Swirl around so the batter evenly coats the bottom and slightly up the sides. Cook until the crepe is dry on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes, then use a wooden skewer to loosen the edges. Gently move the skewer under the crepe to flip it. Cook on second side for about 30 seconds. Remove to a sheet pan. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
- For the mushroom filling: Add the butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter melts and the foam has subsided, then add the mushrooms and shallots and saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and saute another 1 to 2 minutes. Season with a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir and saute until the liquid evaporates and mushrooms are lightly caramelized, 6 to 7 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven to roast the mushrooms, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and deglaze with the sherry vinegar. Remove to a bowl, let cool slightly and then fold in the creme fraiche and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 225 degrees F.
- For the mushroom hay: Separate the enoki mushrooms and place on a lined baking sheet in an even layer. Place in the oven to dry out, around 1 hour.
- Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a large Dutch oven or high-sided pot. Using a slotted spoon, quickly fry the enoki mushrooms for just a few seconds. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
- For the mustard sauce: Mix together the mustard and soy sauce in a small bowl. Place a dollop in the center of a serving dish.
- Place a crepe on a flat surface. Spread about 3 tablespoons filling down the middle. Fold the sides around the filling (like folding a letter). Flip over and place on top of the mustard sauce, seam-side down. Garnish with the mushroom hay, chervil and more dots of mustard sauce on the plate. Serve. Repeat to make more filled 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 CREPE CAKE
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
CRêPES CAKE
Steps:
- To make the crêpes: In a blender, combine the flour, milk, butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth. Add the eggs and blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed, about 1 minute. Transfer the batter to a large bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
- Heat an 8-inch crêpe pan or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium high and spray with cooking spray. Gently stir the chilled crêpes batter. Add 1/4 cup of the batter and tilt the pan to make sure the mixture evenly and lightly coats the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds, until the crêpe is lightly browned. Using a spatula, carefully flip the crêpe to cook the other side, about 30 seconds. Slide the crêpe onto a plate. Cool slightly, then transfer to a clean, dry surface. Arrange crêpes in a single layer to cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter, buttering pan occasionally. If crêpes are browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium.
- To make the frosting: In a chilled bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, 30 seconds. Switch to the whisk attachment and add the heavy cream, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Whip on medium speed until almost stiff peaks form (tips almost stand straight).
- To make the cake: On a platter, place one crêpe and spread with a generous 1/4 cup of the frosting. Top with a crêpe, then evenly spread on a generous 1/4 cup of the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Top with sliced strawberries. Repeat with the remaining crêpes, frosting, chocolate-hazelnut spread, and sliced strawberries. Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- To serve, sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar. Top with whipped cream and the halved strawberries. Use a serrated knife to slice.
