1/2 cup water
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped herbs, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes
Butter, for coating the pan
Method:
For Savory crepes:
In a blender, combine all of the ingredients (excepting the butter ) and pulse for few seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1tbsp of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for few seconds and flip and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool.After they have cooled you can stack them and store in the freezer for up to two months.
In a large saute pan, melt 1tbsp of butter and sweat the onion. Add all the mushrooms and the remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper and cook until mushrooms are soft. Add the milk and reduce by half. Add the provolone and melt. On a buttered sheet pan layer two crepes. This way if the bottom one sticks you can still remove your cake from the pan. Spread a thin layer of the filling onto the crepe. Sprinkle a few chives on each layer. Top with another crepe and spread more mushroom filling on top. Repeat this method until you are out of filling. Top with another crepe and sprinkle on Parmesan. Place under broiler until Parmesan is melted and golden brown. Place onto a cutting board and slice into wedges. Serve immediately.
