Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, milk, ½ cup water, eggs, 2 tablespoons butter and ½ teaspoon salt. Cover and let stand for at least 1 hour.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add mushrooms, season with salt and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in shallots, garlic and thyme and cook over medium heat for 1 minute. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and stir in turkey, crème fraîche, chives and ¼ cup cheese. Season well with salt, pepper and nutmeg

  3. Step 3

    Lightly brush an 8-inch skillet with melted butter and heat over medium heat. Whisk batter and add 2 to 3 tablespoons to skillet, swirling to coat bottom. Cook until edge begins to brown, about 30 seconds. Flip using a thin-bladed spatula and cook 20 seconds. Slide onto a plate and repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes as cooked.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oven to 400 degrees. Brush bottom of 2 large gratin dishes with melted butter. Spread 3 tablespoons filling over half of each crepe, then fold other half over filling and fold into quarters to form a triangle. Arrange crepes slightly overlapping in gratin dishes. Scatter leftover filling over top. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup cheese. Bake until edges are crisp and filling is hot, 15 to 20 minutes.

An absolute winner! Light, delicious and easy to make. I did not scatter filling over top, but put it all inside the crepes. I brushed the crepes with melted butter and then sprinkled the Parmigiano on top. Huge hit!

Great thing about this recipe is that you can make it ahead of time and put in the oven to reheat and crisp right before serving.

Made it with left over roast chicken, replaced spinach with chiffonade of kale that I had on hand.

Good recipe. Probably works well with both chicken and turkey. Watch the salt, the cheese adds a lot of salt.

Delicious and worth the effort! Used sour cream instead of creme fraiche, frozen spinach instead of fresh. Will definitely make again.

Water is not listed in the ingredients but appears ion Step 1.Water or no water?
