Crêpe? Oui.

June 18, 2020

Crêpe? Oui. . In our house, we love a good savory crêpe for brunch. That doesn’t mean a dessert crêpe isn’t our thing, it very much is. But that’s for another day. Today we focus on these golden savory beauties topped with a smooth silky béchamel. . To make: Whisk or blend(preferred) together till smooth - 2 eggs, 2 cups milk, 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons melted butter. Ladle batter on a well heated, greased, medium sized pan to cover it with a thin layer. Use a crêpe spreader or simply pick pan and move side to side until batter spreads evenly. Generally one soup ladle of batter works for one crêpe. Cook on medium heat, when edges start to curl, flip crêpe and cook other side for approx 30 seconds or until it has golden spots. Don’t let either side brown. Slide crêpe out. This recipe yields approx 10-12 crepes. Stuff with your favorite fillings, fold crêpe over filling and serve. Fillings here: 1) Flash sautéed baby spinach, crumbled goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes. 2) Honey ham, Swiss cheese and arugula. . Béchamel - Whisk together 2 tablespoons butter & 3 tablespoons flour on medium heat, until flour is cooked and forms a golden roux. Add 1 cup milk & 1 cup cream, continue heating and whisking till sauce thickens and is smooth. Season with salt and pepper. I add a hint of garlic powder and onion powder to the roux, just for added flavor, but that is optional. (Note: You can adjust the ingredients’ proportions of this sauce as per your preference, these are my eyeballed proportions). . Brunch is served - Warm crêpes with your favorite filling, topped with a generous serving of silky smooth béchamel makes for the perfect #platedexpressions on a lazy weekend morning or just any day! . . . . . #crepes #savorycrepes #brunch #frenchcuisine #frenchcrepes #foodphoto #foodartblog #foodphotography #foodartchefs #cookniche #brunchideas #breakfastideas #lunchideas #cookingwithgoodful #damnthatsdelish #yummy #tasty #tastyfood #tastyrecipes #eatwell #goodfood #mealideas #recipe #recipeoftheday #foodie #yum #cookingathome #recipesharing
