Savory Crepes With Creamy Chicken Ham And Mushroom Filling Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, eggs, 1/2 cup milk, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Continue whisking until you have a smooth batter. Add the remaining cup of milk and stir well to combine. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill the batter for at least 30 minutes or several hours.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Just before you are ready to make the crepes, whisk in the melted butter. The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream; if it is too thick, add milk slowly while whisking constantly until it is the right texture.
• Heat a 9-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Melt a teaspoon of butter in the pan or spray with vegetable spray and heat the pan until a drop of water "dances" across the surface.
• Using a ladle or a measuring cup with a lip, pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan. Hold the pan with 1 hand and pour the batter in with the other. Swirl the pan while pouring so that the batter covers the pan thinly and evenly for each crepe. Pour off any excess batter. Try not to leave any holes. After the first few crepes you will know exactly how much batter your pan will hold.
• Cook the crepe over medium-high heat until the edges turn brown, about 15 seconds. Flip the crepe using a small spatula and your fingers. Cook on the second side for another 10 to 15 seconds. The second side will not be as evenly browned as the first side. Remove the pan from the heat and invert it over a warm plate to stack the crepes. Keep warm until ready to use. Continue making crepes with remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed.
• If not using immediately, place a square of waxed paper between each 1, place in a resealable plastic bag and store in the refrigerator. Crepes can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for several months. Reheat uncovered in a low oven (250 degrees) for 15 minutes or until warm. Fill with your favorite filling.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Melt remaining 1/4 cup butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup flour and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add 2 cups milk, chicken bouillon cubes, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until thickened into a sauce, about 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream and sherry.
• Scoop 1 cup sauce into a bowl; keep warm. Stir chicken and 1 teaspoon parsley into remaining sauce in the skillet. Simmer until chicken is heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Beat 1 cup milk, 3/4 cup flour, egg, 1 tablespoon melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and baking powder together in a bowl to make crepe batter.
• Grease a 7-inch skillet lightly; heat over medium heat. Pour 2 tablespoons batter into the skillet, swirling to spread evenly. Cook crepe until golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer crepe to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, separating crepes with waxed paper and covering to keep warm.
• Scoop 1/4 cup chicken mixture onto each crepe and roll up. Spoon reserved 1 cup sauce over filled crepes. Garnish with remaining 1 teaspoon parsley.
