MUSHROOM CREPES

Steps:

• For the crepes: Combine the eggs, milk, butter, salt and 1/2 cup water in the blender and blend for 7 to 10 seconds. Add the flour and blend until just combined, about 5 seconds, then stir in the herbs. Rest the batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• For the mushroom filling: Meanwhile, finely chop half of the shiitake and cremini mushrooms and set aside.
• Heat a 12-inch saute pan over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons butter. When it has melted, add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add all the mushrooms
• (sliced and chopped), salt and pepper to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and the entire mixture has reduced to about one third of its original volume, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the milk and cook until the mixture becomes a loose paste, about 2 minutes. Add the tarragon, chives and provolone and cook for another minute.
• Heat the oven to 200 degrees F or its lowest setting. And set a cooling rack inside a half-sheet
• pan.
• Place an 8-inch nonstick pan over medium-low heat and coat with cooking spray or 1 tablespoon butter. Pour 1 ounce of the batter into the center of the pan and swirl the pan to spread it around evenly. Cook for 30 seconds, or until the edges of the crepe begins to turn up. Flip (you can use a small offset spatula) and cook for another 10 seconds.
• Place the crepes in the oven on the cooling rack setup and cover with parchment until all the
• crepes are ready.
• Remove the crepes from the oven and turn broiler on high.
• Spread a thin layer of the mushroom mixture on a crepe. Top with Parmesan and another crepe. Transfer to a broiler-proof plate. Repeat with 1 more layer, finishing with Parmesan. Build another crepe on another broiler-proof plate. Put the plates into the oven (if they can fit) and broil until the cheese is just browned, about 1 minute.

SAVORY CREPES WITH CREAMY CHICKEN, HAM AND MUSHROOM FILLING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a glass 9 by 13-inch baking dish and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened into a pale blond roux, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the hot stock in a steady stream, whisking to incorporate. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently with a heavy wooden spoon until thick. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper, and stir to incorporate. Slowly whisk in the cream and simmer, stirring, until well incorporated and thickened. Remove from the heat and very lightly film the top with the milk to prevent a skin from forming.
• In a large saute pan or skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, season lightly with Essence, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. To the fat and juices in the pan add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring, until they have given off their water and are starting to color, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ham and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the sherry and bring to a boil, stirring to deglaze the pan. Add the tarragon and green onions, and return the chicken to the pan. Stir well to blend and cook until the sherry has evaporated. Reduce the heat to low and stir in enough of the cream sauce to bind and thicken, 1 to 1 1/2 cups. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Place the crepes on a work surface. One at a time, spoon the filling along the bottom third of each crepe, about 3 tablespoons per crepe, and roll into a cylinder to enclose the filling. Place, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
• To the remaining cream sauce, add the Gruyere and stir to incorporate. Spoon the sauce evenly over the crepes. (NOTE: The crepes can be tightly covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for 1 day or frozen for 3 days at this point. Bring to room temperature before baking.)
• Bake until warmed through and the top starts to become bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the Parmesan. Bake until the cheese is melted and the topping is golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and place in a chafing dish holder or on trivets. Serve hot, 1 to 2 crepes per person.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
• Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch. Published by William and Morrow, 1993.
• Whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, and 4 1/2 teaspoons of the butter to form a smooth, thin batter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before proceeding.
• Heat a heavy 6-inch skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat. When hot, brush with a light coating of the remaining butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the pan, tilting the skillet to evenly coat the pan with batter. Cook until golden brown on the bottom and the top begins to look dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully turn the crepe and cook on the second side just until the bottom colors slightly, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with waxed paper to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Assemble as directed in the Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Crepes. (Alternatively, make ahead and when cool, layer between sheets of waxed paper and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 days.)
