Mushroom Crespelle image

Italian crespelle are savory crepes, filled and baked in a bechamel sauce. They are traditionally served as a first course, for Sunday lunch, or any special occasion, as an alternative to the classic lasagna. You can easily make these into a main by serving with a fresh green salad on the side.

Time 2h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup dried mushrooms
7 tablespoons butter, divided
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups milk
3 eggs
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place dried mushrooms in a bowl, cover with warm water, and set aside for 1 hour. Drain well and chop.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook mushrooms for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Melt remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until well combined. Pour in milk, 2 tablespoons at a time, stirring continuously. Cook and stir until a smooth, slightly thick sauce forms, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Fold reserved mushrooms into filling.
  • Whisk together milk and eggs in a bowl. Stir in flour and whisk until you have a fairly thin, smooth batter.
  • Heat a 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1 ladleful of batter into the hot pan and tilt pan immediately to evenly spread batter over the bottom. Cook until crespelle edges start turning light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip crespelle and cook other side for 1 more minute. Remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread 1 tablespoon of cream over the bottom of a baking dish.
  • Fill each crespelle with a generous amount of mushroom mixture. Roll up and lay side by side, seam down, into the prepared baking dish. Pour remaining cream on top and sprinkle with 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

I would have liked the crepes to be a bit thinner, but other than that, these crespelles were excellent.

I'm not a fan of bechamel sauce, so I omitted it from this recipe. The crespelles were still very good without it.
