Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Buckwheat Crêpes with Mushroom and Spinach Filling.
Step 1
To create a delightful crêpe batter, start by blending together the eggs, milk, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a blender until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Next, add in the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt, then blend again until everything is well combined.
Step 3
Once your batter is ready, cover it and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Step 4
This resting period is essential as it allows the batter to thicken and develop a richer flavor.
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare the delicious filling.
Step 6
In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Add the sliced cremini and oyster mushrooms, stirring them occasionally until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 8
Once the mushrooms are perfectly cooked, stir in the diced tomatoes and baby spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts down, which will take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 9
Once everything is nicely combined, remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 10
In another large skillet, melt 1 teaspoon of butter over medium heat.
Step 11
Pour about 1/4 cup of your chilled crêpe batter into the hot skillet, tilting and swirling the pan to ensure the batter evenly coats the bottom.
Step 12
Cook the crêpe until the center is set and the edges start to turn golden brown, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 13
Once your crêpe is ready, sprinkle a quarter of the mushroom and spinach filling in the center, followed by 3 tablespoons of shredded Gruyère cheese.
Step 14
To finish, fold the crêpe into thirds to create a lovely triangle shape and sprinkle an additional tablespoon of Gruyère on top.
Step 15
Repeat this delightful process for the remaining crêpes, adding 1 teaspoon of butter for each one to keep them beautifully golden and flavorful.
Step 16
Enjoy the process and savor the delicious aroma filling your kitchen as you create these scrumptious crêpes!.
