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.)

ASPARAGUS MUSHROOM PARMESAN CREPES

Steps:

• 1. FOR THE CREPE BATTER: Mix all crepe batter ingredients together. Blend until smooth and no lumps are present. Put the batter in the refrigerator for one hour. This will stay good for 48 hours in the fridge, so if you want, you can mix it up ahead of time. The idea of letting it rests, helps so that all air bubbles are out of the batter and also helps so that the crepes do not tear while you cook them.
• 2. When the hour is up (or you chilled the batter longer, doesnt matter) take the batter out and give it a good mix again.
• 3. With a frying pan, crepe pan or small omelet pan put on heat of the stove top and get it hot. Add a little (like 1 teaspoon) of oil if your pan is not non-stick. Ladle about a few tablespoons of batter onto the hot frying pan, and take the handle and twirl the batter around until you get a circle and batter stops moving around. When you see a few bubbles forming underneath and edges are just starting to get a golden color, flip the crepe over and cook for an additional minute. Remove to plate as you continue making the crepes. You can stack them on top of each other, they wont stick. Set the crepes aside.
• 4. FOR THE VEGETABLES: Take the asparagus and with both hands, "snap" it in half. Where it breaks will be the bottom part of the stem that is too tough. Put to the side. Get a large pot of water to boil, and add asparagus that has been snapped. Par boil for only 2 minutes. Then IMMEDIATELY plunge the asparagus into icy cold water, rinsing and then keeping them in very cold iced water until ready to sear. When ready to sear, take out of water to dry them slightly.
• 5. Chop the onion and mushrooms. In a large frying pan, add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 Tablespoon of butter. Get the pan searing hot and then add onion, salt and pepper to taste. Let it cook until transparent (about 2-3 minutes) Add the sliced mushrooms to the onion. Sear until the moisture evaporates from the mushrooms, and the mushrooms just start to brown. Set aside to cool. Do not rinse the pan and keeping it hot, Add 1 Tablespoon of butter and 1 Tablespoon of olive oil to the hot pan. Let the butter melt (will melt very quickly) then add the asparagus stalks that have been snapped and drained from the ice bath. Pan sear them, covering with a lid and every minute or so, open the lid and stir the asparagus around. You are looking to steam them when the lid is on, and also get them to just starting to brown a bit. Take off heat, and set aside.
• 6. FOR THE SAUCE: Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Add the flour and stir until it forms lumps and all the butter and flour are blended together. Add the milk all at once and stir stir stir constantly, until it starts to thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the parmesan cheese and stir to melt. Take off heat and set aside.
• 7. NOW TO ASSEMBLE THE CREPES: Place about a Tablespoon of the sauce on a crepe. Smooth it over to cover most of the crepe. Sprinkle some mushroom/onion down the middle of the crepe. Add 4-6 asparagus stalks to the center. Roll up the crepe and place it seam side down onto a 9x13 inch baking dish. Assemble the rest of the crepes and line them up in the baking dish.
• 8. Take the extra sauce and run it down the middle of the crepes. Sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese, if desired. (maybe a 1/4 cup of so) Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. The parmesan cheese will be melted on top of the sauce.
• 9. NOTE: This seems very involved, but really it isnt. You can make ahead many of the steps. Also, if you have left over asparagus, you are half way there! The mushrooms are optional, but a good addition. I can see having extra mushrooms when doing steaks, they would go well in these crepes as well.... you get the idea. Also, the crepes themselves can be done a day ahead of time as well. Then assembly is the only step left. :) I was very happy with the results. If you are still reading this recipe, it must sound good to you too! :)~ You wont be disappointed!
