Chicken, Mushroom, and Cheese Crepes

Thin crepes with a savory filling, made with milk. You can serve them with sour cream, though I like them best with a cup of sweet black tea — that's the perfect pairing in my book, but everyone's taste is different. The main thing is to make them, then feel free to improvise with how you serve them. A pretty modest set of ingredients yields a big batch — enough to feed 5 people if everyone has three. Enjoy!

Cooking method

Cooking time: 45 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Simmer the chicken leg quarter in salted water until cooked through, about 35 minutes. Remove it from the broth and let it cool.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Peel the skin off the cooled chicken, pull the meat off the bones, and chop it finely across the grain.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Wash the fresh mushrooms and chop them finely. Sauté them in a little vegetable oil over high heat, stirring, for 3 minutes, and season with a little salt.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Grate the hard cheese on the large holes of a box grater.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    In a bowl, combine the prepared filling ingredients: the chicken, mushrooms, and cheese.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Make the crepe batter. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the salt, crack in the eggs, then pour in the vegetable oil, milk, and hot water.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Blend everything thoroughly with a mixer until you have a smooth, thin batter. You can also strain it through a fine sieve to make sure there are no lumps — that's what I did. The batter is ready.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Heat a skillet with a little vegetable oil, which you only add before the first crepe. Once the pan and oil are nice and hot, ladle a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling to spread it evenly across the bottom. Cook for 20–30 seconds over medium heat.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Flip the crepe over and cook for another 20–30 seconds. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    I ended up with 15 small crepes about 5 1/2 inches across. If your pan is bigger, you'll get fewer of them.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    Take a crepe and spoon the filling along one edge.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12

    Roll the crepe up into a log.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13

    Do the same with all the crepes. Store any cooled crepes in the refrigerator.

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14

    Just before serving, pan-fry the crepes in butter for 1 minute per side over medium heat until golden — that's when the cheese melts, too.

  • The batter and filling come together easily, and the crepes turn out incredibly tasty and filling.
