Mushroom And Camembert Crêpes
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 1/4 cups whole milk
– 1/2 cup water
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 2 tbsp butter, melted
– 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
– 6 oz camembert cheese, rind removed and sliced
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, water, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to an hour to allow the gluten to relax for tender crêpes.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush the skillet with a bit of melted butter and pour a ladleful of the batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook the crêpe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 1 minute. Continue until all the batter is used, stacking the cooked crêpes on a plate and covering them with foil to keep warm.
3. In a separate pan, melt some butter over medium heat and add the onions. Cook until softened and translucent, then add the garlic, thyme, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and any liquid released has evaporated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. To assemble the crêpes, place a couple of slices of camembert cheese on each crêpe, then spoon some of the mushroom mixture over the cheese. Fold the crêpes into quarters to enclose the filling.
5. Return the filled crêpes to the skillet over low heat to warm through and allow the cheese to melt slightly.
6. Serve the Mushroom and Camembert Crêpes garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
