Ingredients

– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 1/4 cups whole milk
– 2 large eggs
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
– 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

1. Whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/4 cups whole milk, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten for tender crepes.
2. Heat a nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the skillet, swirling immediately to coat the bottom evenly.
3. Cook the crepe for 60-90 seconds until the edges lift easily and the surface looks dry. Flip using a thin spatula and cook for another 30 seconds until lightly golden. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes on a plate.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender. Season with a pinch of salt.
5. Whisk 4 large eggs in a bowl. Pour into the skillet with mushrooms and scramble for 2-3 minutes until softly set but still moist.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place one crepe on a baking sheet and spoon 1/4 of the egg-mushroom mixture down the center.
7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese over the filling. Fold both sides of the crepe over the filling, creating a neat parcel.
8. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling. Bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts and the crepes are warm.
9. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives before serving. Create beautiful plating by slicing crepes diagonally to reveal the layered filling. Crisp edges give way to a creamy, savory interior where earthy mushrooms and rich Gruyère mingle in every bite. Serve with a sharp arugula salad to cut through the richness.
