Ingredients

Scale

Crepe Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • Pinch of salt

Filling

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into pieces
  • 1 cup button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (thyme or parsley), chopped
  • ¼ cup grated cheese (Gruyere, Parmesan, or cheddar) – optional

For Cooking and Serving

  • Butter or olive oil for greasing the pan
  • Fresh herbs or chives for garnish
  • Optional garnishes: crème fraîche, lemon-infused olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crepe Batter: Combine all-purpose flour, eggs, and milk in a bowl. Whisk the mixture until smooth and free of lumps. Let it rest for about 15 minutes to thicken slightly and relax gluten for soft, tender crepes.
  2. Cook the Asparagus and Mushrooms: Trim asparagus and slice mushrooms. Heat butter or olive oil in a pan, sauté minced garlic and shallots until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook until browned. Add asparagus last, cooking for a few minutes until tender but still vibrant green. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Lightly grease a non-stick skillet and heat to medium. Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan, swirling to spread thinly and evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is golden, then flip and cook briefly on the other side. Repeat until all batter is used.
  4. Assemble the Crepes: Place a crepe on a plate, spoon a generous amount of the mushroom and asparagus filling down the center, add cheese if using, then gently fold or roll the crepe around the filling. Warm for a minute in the pan or oven for a melty finish if desired.

Notes

  • Rest your batter for softer, more pliable crepes.
  • Keep the pan hot but controlled to avoid burning or sticking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the veggie pan; sauté in batches for better browning.
  • Add fresh herbs like thyme or parsley at the end for bright, fresh flavor.
  • Cheese adds richness and melts beautifully inside the crepes.
