Baked Crepes with Mushrooms

By -
I'm a tad apprehensive about mushroom sauces and any food item smothered in mushrooms.  So why I saw this recipe and thought I had to make it, I don't know.  I'm glad I did though.  Everyone loved them.

What I really loved was I was able to make the crepes & mushroom filling ahead of time.  I assembled them together about an hour before our friends came over for dinner and popped them in the oven.  (don't assemble them until ready to bake)

This made about 8 crepes.

Ingredients:

Crepes (I used the buckwheat crepes, recipe also on this blog)
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2-3 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon olive oil
salt & pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 - 1 1/2 pounds fresh mixed mushrooms, sliced (I used the normal white ones, baby portabella, & brown cremini)
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped chives
1/2 cup grated Parmessan, divided


Instructions

Make your crepes as you normally would, then set them aside.


Cook onion in butter & oil with 3/4 tsp salt & 1/2 tsp pepper in a large heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened & just about to brown, about 7 minutes.  Add garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring.  Add mushrooms & cook until tender, about 8 minutes, stir occasionally.  Stir in cream & milk and simmer, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.  (my sauce was still pretty thin until I took it off the heat and then it thickened a lot more) Remove from heat and stir in chives & 1/4 cup cheese & set aside.

Preheat oven to 375.  Lightly grease a 9 x 13 pan/baking dish.  Take a single crepe and spread about 1/4 cup mushroom filling on crepe.  Then fold into quarters to form a triangle. Repeat until all your sauce or crepes are used.  Place crepes into pan, overlap slightly, however you need to get all the crepes in your pan.  If you have leftover filling, spoon it over the tops of the crepes.  Sprinkle the crepes with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.  Bake until crepes are golden & edges are crisp, about 25 minutes.

Enjoy!

Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside. In a pot, heat some olive oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic till onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms, and some salt. Saute a few minutes until they get soft, then add the tomatoes. Cover and let t

Galette des Rois

January 6 is the Epiphany, a day to celebrate when the 3 kings visited Baby Jesus.  I think it is a Catholic holiday.  I learned about it while in France and love the tradition of making a galette des rois/Kings Cake.   The tradition goes you make the cake with a hidden bean inside.  The youngest person at the table sits under the table.  As a slice of cake is plated, the youngster names who gets that slice.  (make sure you slice the cake so you have only as many slices as you do people eating the cake)  Whoever finds the hidden bean is the King or Queen for the evening and wears a crown.  This year, I think I improved my recipe, with more almond filling than I normally add.  I thought it was going to end up messy but instead it made it yummier.  I had some extra filling and decided to make a mini kings cake with the extra puff pastry.  I added some fresh raspberries which tasted quite yummy all warm in the cake.  Though I think I prefer it without the berries.  Try it out, it is reall
