Ingredients

Scale

Crepe Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend/buckwheat flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based for vegan option)
  • Pinch of salt

Filling

  • 8 oz fresh cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 bunch asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 12 inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • ½ cup grated Gruyere or Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast/vegan cheese for vegan)
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley or chives), chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Whisk together flour, eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to relax the gluten and ensure tender crepes.
  2. Cook the Crepes: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour a small ladleful of batter, swirling quickly to form an even, thin layer. Cook until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden, then flip and cook the other side briefly. Stack cooked crepes on a plate.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms and Asparagus: In a large skillet, melt butter or heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and shallots and cook until fragrant. Add sliced mushrooms and asparagus pieces and sauté until mushrooms release their juices and asparagus is crisp-tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Crepes: Lay each crepe flat and spoon a generous portion of the mushroom and asparagus filling onto the center. Sprinkle grated cheese and fresh herbs over the filling. Fold the crepe edges over to enclose the filling.
  5. Warm and Serve: Place filled crepes back in the skillet on low heat, cover, and warm until the cheese melts and crepes are heated through. Serve hot with optional garnishes or sides.

Notes

  • Rest the batter to prevent toughness and create delicate texture.
  • Keep crepes thin and evenly spread for the best fold and mouthfeel.
  • Pat mushrooms dry before sautéing to avoid sogginess.
  • Do not overcook asparagus; keep it crisp-tender to retain vibrant color and bite.
  • Warm filled crepes gently on low heat to avoid drying or burning.
