Follow The Directions

01

Step
8 hrs

Prepare the Crêpe Batter: In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Add the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Blend until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. (8 hours)

02

Step
10 mins

Sauté the Mushroom Filling: Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cremini and oyster mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender. (10 minutes)

03

Step
4 mins

Add Tomatoes and Spinach: Add the diced tomatoes and spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes have softened slightly. (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.

04

Step
4 mins

Cook the Crêpes: Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a large, non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, immediately tilting and swirling the pan to evenly distribute the batter into a thin circle. (3-4 minutes)

05

Step
0 mins

Fill and Fold: Cook until the edges of the crêpe begin to brown and the center is set. Sprinkle 1/4 of the mushroom filling down the center of the crêpe, then top with 3 tablespoons of Gruyère cheese. Fold the sides of the crêpe over the filling to form a triangle. Sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon of Gruyère cheese.

06

Step
0 mins

Repeat: Repeat the cooking and filling process with the remaining batter and filling, adding 1 teaspoon of butter to the pan for each crêpe.

For the best texture, allow the batter to rest overnight. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender crêpes.
Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms or add other vegetables like sautéed onions or bell peppers to the filling.
If you don't have Gruyère cheese, you can substitute it with Swiss or Emmental cheese.
Serve the crêpes immediately for the best flavor and texture.
