Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 crepes

Number Of Ingredients 32

1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon leaves
12 Crepes, recipe follows
1 tablespoon chopped green onions
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup grated Gruyere
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock, hot
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon milk
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Essence, recipe follows
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
8 ounces mushrooms (such as button and shiitake), stems trimmed, wiped clean, and roughly chopped
1/4 pound baked ham, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Pinch salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 teaspoons melted unsalted butter
3 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons whole milk

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.)

SAVORY CREPES



Savory Crepes image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 (8-inch) large crepes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk, divided use
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus whole butter for cooking crepes

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, eggs, 1/2 cup milk, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Continue whisking until you have a smooth batter. Add the remaining cup of milk and stir well to combine. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill the batter for at least 30 minutes or several hours.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Just before you are ready to make the crepes, whisk in the melted butter. The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream; if it is too thick, add milk slowly while whisking constantly until it is the right texture.
  • Heat a 9-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Melt a teaspoon of butter in the pan or spray with vegetable spray and heat the pan until a drop of water "dances" across the surface.
  • Using a ladle or a measuring cup with a lip, pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan. Hold the pan with 1 hand and pour the batter in with the other. Swirl the pan while pouring so that the batter covers the pan thinly and evenly for each crepe. Pour off any excess batter. Try not to leave any holes. After the first few crepes you will know exactly how much batter your pan will hold.
  • Cook the crepe over medium-high heat until the edges turn brown, about 15 seconds. Flip the crepe using a small spatula and your fingers. Cook on the second side for another 10 to 15 seconds. The second side will not be as evenly browned as the first side. Remove the pan from the heat and invert it over a warm plate to stack the crepes. Keep warm until ready to use. Continue making crepes with remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed.
  • If not using immediately, place a square of waxed paper between each 1, place in a resealable plastic bag and store in the refrigerator. Crepes can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for several months. Reheat uncovered in a low oven (250 degrees) for 15 minutes or until warm. Fill with your favorite filling.

That saves two more crepes for another day to use for a different breakfast, or to use for dessert with berries and cream after dinner.

BREAKFAST CREPES WITH SAVORY EGGS, SMOKED SALMON AND CAVIAR



Breakfast Crepes With Savory Eggs, Smoked Salmon and Caviar image

This recipe was a product of cleaning out the fridge and being hungry. I had just catered a party and had leftover caviar, just a small spoonful, but that is all I needed; frozen crepes, eggs, herb cheese, smoked salmon and a little bechemel (white sauce) left from 2 nights ago. So that sealed the deal. This is something you can easily have done in a few minutes and serve. Make the sauce and the crepes ahead of time and then just scramble your eggs and roll the crepe. Warm up the sauce as the eggs cook and your are done. Now I know the caviar is a bit expensive, but for a special brunch a small amount goes a long way. Also, crepes are not that hard, and they freeze well. But many stores carry them pre-made in the frozen section these days. Recipe #262038 from Zaar is a simple basic crepe recipe.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 4 Crepes, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 crepes, Crepe Batter is a basic recipe (use your favorite recipe, or buy them pre-made)
3 -4 ounces smoked salmon, thin sliced (approximately 1 oz per crepe, I get mine right from the local grocery store)
2 teaspoons caviar (1/2 teaspoon per crepe)
8 ex large eggs (2 eggs per crepe)
4 tablespoons herb cheese spread (Boursin is one brand I suggest)
2 shallots, thin sliced
2 teaspoons butter
salt
pepper
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh dill
sour cream

Steps:

  • Crepes -- I won't go through the whole recipe here, but you can use your favorite recipe or buy them pre-made. If they are frozen just, thaw in the fridge and then I reheat by simply wrapping them in a damp paper towel in the microwave for just a few seconds. Or you can wrap in foil and reheat in the oven on 325 for just 5 minutes or so. You just want them warm and plyable, not steaming hot.
  • Sauce -- In a small pot, add the butter, flour and milk and whisk well until combined. Bring to medium heat and continue stirring until well combined. DON'T boil as you do not want to scald/burn the milk. Bring to a light boil stirring often. The sauce will thicken. Reduce to low and add the lemon, dill, salt and pepper. Just keep on low while you cook the eggs.
  • Eggs -- In a medium non-stick sauce pan, add the butter and bring to medium heat. Add in the shallots and cook 1-2 minutes just to soften them up a bit. Then, in a medium size bowl, whisk the eggs very well and add in a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the eggs to the sauce pan with the onions, stir, and let them cook on medium low heat 3-4 minutes until slightly set and then stir. Add in the Boursin or herb cheese and stir to combine. It will take another 3-4 minutes for the cheese to melt and the eggs to finish cooking. Stir often. DON'T overcook the eggs - you want a soft scramble, as they will continue to cook once removed from the heat.
  • Salmon -- Buying it in a package it should already be thin sliced and ready to use.
  • Crepes -- Add 1/4 of the eggs to each warm crepe, top with smoked salmon and roll. Place 1-2 crepes per plate and top with the warm lemon dill sauce, a sprig of dill, a dollop or spoon of sour cream, and a little caviar. ENJOY!

SAVORY WESTERN CREPES



Savory Western Crepes image

Provided by lutzflcat

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Crepes

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ cups milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon melted butter
2 teaspoons chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
8 large eggs
¼ cup milk
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
⅓ cup diced onion
⅓ cup diced red bell pepper
3 tablespoons diced jalapeno pepper
½ cup chopped ham
2 tablespoons melted butter, or as needed, divided

Steps:

  • Combine milk, flour, eggs, cilantro, melted butter, and chile-garlic sauce in a blender. Blend until smooth and very thin, about 1 minute. Set batter aside to rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat a crepe pan or small skillet over medium heat. Brush 1 tablespoon melted butter into the pan using a pastry brush and add 1/2 cup of crepe batter. Pick up the pan, tipping and rotating so batter forms a round shape and evenly coats the entire bottom of the pan. Return the pan to the burner and cook until small brown spots appear on the bottom of the crepe, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Loosen crepe carefully using a spatula and gently flip it to brown the other side; cook for 30 to 60 seconds. Slide cooked crepe onto a plate. Repeat to cook additional crepes, adding more butter if needed, and stacking crepes on top of the first.
  • Whisk eggs and milk in a large bowl until well blended. Stir in Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in ham and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir 1 tablespoon melted butter into the skillet. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring until eggs are scrambled and wet, but no longer runny, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture across the lower 1/3 of a crepe and roll up like a jelly roll. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling.

Savory Beef Filling for Crepes image

Most recipes for crepes are generally the same, tweaked for personal tastes so I will leave out the crepes recipe for now. The beef sauce is a recipe that I've developed loosely from beef stroganoff, made with beef stew meat, potatoes, green onions, and any veggies you choose (I prefer carrots and/or broccoli.) The result of this recipe is a creamy, savory dinner that'll leave you wanting more. Serve sauce inside or on top of crepes.

Steps:

  • For the dosa: Soak the parboiled and uncooked rice together in water.
  • Separately, soak the dal and fenugreek seeds together in water.
  • After 3-4 hours, drain and reserve the water and grind both separately in a blender to a fine paste, adding some the reserved water as needed (if the grinder/blender seizes up) until the mixture is of batter consistency.
  • Add the salt, some water if necessary, and mix both together thoroughly; keep overnight to ferment.
  • The next day, check the batter; if too thick, add some water and mix so that it is of a pouring consistency.
  • Heat a skillet and grease with some oil.
  • Pour a ladleful of batter and spread as quickly as possible into a thin circle.
  • Pour a little oil (about 1/2 teaspoon) all around the crepe and on the centre as well.
  • Cook until the dosa is done, then turn over and cook the other side until crisp.
  • Set the dosas aside.
  • Note: If parboiled rice is not available, soak 2 1/4 cups of uncooked rice.
  • For the potato curry: Heat the 3 tablespoons of oil.
  • Season with the mustard and gram dals.
  • When done, add the chopped onions, green chilies, ginger, curry leaves, chili powder, and turmeric powder.
  • When the onions are browned, add the potatoes and salt, and mix thoroughly.
  • Add the coriander leaves and lemon juice, if desired, and mix well.
  • For the chutney: Heat the oil, add the asafoetida, red chilies, and then the dal.
  • Fry until the dal turns brownish.
  • Remove from flame.
  • Grind this mixture with the grated coconut, salt and tamarind to a slightly rough paste.
  • Add a little water to make the chutney of a spreadable consistency.
  • To make the masala dosas (the final product!): When required, reverse the prepared dosa and place on a skillet.
  • Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of chutney evenly all over the dosa.
  • Carefully place 2 tablespoons of potato curry in the centre, fold the the left a third over the centre, and then the right side over the left (or, just fold it any way you like!).
  • Sprinkle a little ghee or butter.
  • Roast for a minute or two.
