Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk and ½ cup water, whisk to combine.
- Microwave the 2 tablespoons of butter on high power in 30 seconds intervals until just melted, stirring to dissolve any pieces. It should not be above 140ºF (60ºC) when added to the batter or the eggs will curdle.
- Make a well in the flour mixture. Add the melted butter. Gradually add the liquid egg mixture. Constantly whisk until a smooth batter forms. Alternatively, in a blender, add the eggs, milk, ½ cup water, flour, salt, and melted butter. Blend on medium speed until smooth, about 40 to 45 seconds.
- Strain the batter into a medium bowl to remove any clumps. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Once chilled, whisk in about ¼ cup of water to thin out the consistency. It should be similar to cream in texture.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add ½ teaspoon butter, swirling to coat the pan. When melted, wipe the excess with a paper towel. There should be a thin film in the pan, coating the bottom and sides.
- Add a ¼ cup (60ml) of the batter to the 6 o'clock position of the skillet. Moving quickly, lift the skillet, tilt it slightly to coat the pan, and then swirl several times in a circular motion to evenly cover the entire skillet. Fill in any holes with batter as needed.
- Place the pan back over the heat. Cook until the edges pull away from the skillet and lightly golden brown underneath, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Use a spatula to loosen. Use either your fingers or spatula to flip and cook until the bottom sets, about 10 to 30 seconds. Transfer the crepe to a plate.
- Stack the crepes on top of each other to keep warm while making the next batch, loosely cover with foil.
- Cook the remaining batter, wiping the pan clean and adding a thin layer of butter between each crepe.
- In a large skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add the red onions and thyme, cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the minced garlic, saute for 30 seconds.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms release all their water, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add the baby spinach, stir and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the cream and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Evenly fill each crepe with the mushroom mixture, about ⅓ cup, and sprinkle some gruyere cheese on top. Fold over each side to close. Garnish with parsley, serve immediately.

SAVORY MUSHROOM, SPINACH AND PARMESAN CREPES
Steps:
- Preheat broiler on max. Combine crepe ingredients in bowl; mix until creamy. Let sit 30 min. Meawhile, prepare garnish and filling. Heat butter in a non-stick, medium-sized skillet under medium-high heat until foamy. Coat bottom of pan. Prepare the onion garnish. Place onion rings in hot pan, adding salt and pepper to season, sauté until caramelized. Remove the onions and set aside. Add the diced onions through rosemary to same pan and sauté two minutes or until onions color. Add the mushrooms, sauté for another four minutes or until tender. Add the spinach,combine well, sautéing until the spinach starts to wilt. Remove the mixture from pan and place in a bowl, cover, and set aside. Heat butter in a large non-stick skillet under medium-high heat. Once butter foams, turn to coat the pan and pour off any remaining butter into filling mixture. Combine and cover. Taking pan off the stove and holding it with one hand, pour a pancake-sized amount of crepe batter into pan and immediately start rotating pan to spread batter about the bottom of pan. Put the pan back on the stovetop and watch the batter set and the edges of crepe start to brown. Flip the crepe over and do the other side. When done, put on plate. Return pan to stove and spray. Repeat process until you have enough crepes. Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish and set aside. Scoop about three or four tablespoons of mixture onto the middle of a crepe and spread in a line along the diameter. Sprinkle about two tablespoons of cheese over the filling and roll up, placing crossways in the prepared dish. Repeat with 8 crepes (or however many you can/want to make). Sprinkle the top of the crepes with the remaining cheese. Place in the oven under the broiler for a few minutes, or until the cheese starts to take on a golden-brown color. Remove from the oven and plate two crepes per plate, topping with the caramelized onions and scallions. Serve and enjoy.
Tips:
- To make the perfect crepe batter, let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the flour to fully hydrate and the gluten to relax, resulting in tender and flexible crepes.
- Use a well-seasoned crepe pan or a non-stick skillet to prevent the crepes from sticking. Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the batter - if the pan is not hot enough, the crepes will not cook evenly.
- Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan, tilting the pan to evenly distribute the batter. Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- To make the mushroom filling, use a variety of mushrooms for more flavor. Sauté the mushrooms in butter until they are tender and browned, then season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
- To make the spinach filling, wilt the spinach in a pan with a little bit of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- To assemble the crepes, place a spoonful of mushroom filling and spinach filling in the center of each crepe. Fold the crepe in half, then in half again to form a triangle. Drizzle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Savory mushroom, spinach, and Parmesan crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of ingredients, making them a great option for using up leftovers. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect crepes every time.
