❤️About

📋Ingredients
Batter
- flour - plain flour works best but others can be used as well.
- pinch of salt - enhanced flavor
- eggs - sticks everything together.
- olive oil - softens batter to prevent cracking when rolling.
- milk - moistens and also binds ingredients together.
Filling
- chopped cooked bacon or ham - I like to use back bacon or peameal, as it is much less fat and meatier.
- cooked fresh or frozen spinach - important to drain and dry to get as much water out.
- butter - to sauté vegetables for good flavor.
- olive oil - use with butter to prevent burning.
- mushrooms - white mushrooms are best here.
- garlic - fresh cloves add delicious flavor.
- shallots - add a little sweet with no oniony punch.
- thyme sprigs - can be removed after sauteing.
- chives - more tasty oniony flavor.
- heavy cream - adds, well, creaminess binding flavors together.
- salt and pepper - watch the salt as the bacon and especially ham if using can already be salty enough.
- Gruyere or Mozzarella cheese - many cheeses will go well here.
🔢Instructions
How To Make The Batter
- Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Make a well in the center, then add the eggs, oil and milk.
- Stir with a whisk until smooth
- OR, place all ingredients in the blender and buzz until smooth.
- Let stand 1 hour, longer is better to give the liquid time to absorb the dry ingredients.
- Turn oven on to 300°F/150°C/Gas 2.
- Cook the crepes then place each one in an oven proof dish to keep warm with a sheet of parchment paper between each one, cover with lid.
How To Make The Filling
- If you are using bacon, cook it first. (I like to cook my bacon in the air fryer. Easy to clean up and less fat left in the bacon to consume.)
- Add the butter and oil to a pan. (The oil will keep the butter from burning.)
- Sauté mushrooms, garlic, thyme, shallots until shallots are almost see-through and mushrooms well done.
- Add bacon or ham, and spinach stirring well to incorporate and heat thoroughly.
- Stir in the cream, and cheese, mix well to heat and the cheese begins to melt, remove from heat.
- Take the crepes out of the oven and put them in the crepe pan in a stack.
- Add a spoonful of filling down the center of the top crepe.
- Fold crepe into thirds by lifting one side of the crepe over the filling then the other side.
- Place the filled crepes back in the oven-safe casserole dish.
- Continue filling all the crepes in this manner laying them beside one another in the casserole dish and place filled crepes back in the oven to keep them warm to serve all at once, nice and hot and delicious!
🔄Substitutions
- The bacon and ham could easily be replaced or added to with a good sausage, precooked and cut up into pieces the same size as your mushrooms.
- Button mushrooms instead of larger ones sliced.
- Chopped broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage.
- Cheddar cheese instead of Gruyere or Mozzarella.
💡Tips For Successful Crepes
- Stir crepe batter with a whisk until smooth, do not beat.
- Let batter stand for an hour or longer before cooking for best results.
- Heat pan slowly (use a non-stick crepe pan unless you are experienced) until it is hot about 200°C /400°F.
- Butter pan quickly and pour in batter. Cook fast or they will be rubbery.
- When edges start to lift, it is time to turn.
🍴Equipment
- medium size bowl
- whisk or blender
- crepe pan or non-stick pan
- long spatula or fish flipper for turning crepes
Tip For Savory Crepe Batter
Use olive oil, vegetable oil or sunflower oil in the batter as each one will enhance your crepes with a slightly different flavor, your preference.
Try them out by dividing the other ingredients in half placing each half in a separate bowl and use 2 different oils to see the one you like best.
