Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup (5.3 fl oz) milk
- ⅔ cup (5.3 fl oz) water
- 3 tbsps melted butter
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ tsp dry basil
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Butter for coating pan
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms (sautéed in salt, pepper, and olive oil)
- 1–2 cups cooked shredded turkey (seasoned with salt, pepper, and thyme)
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Batter Preparation: Whisk eggs, flour, milk, water, melted butter, parsley, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and lemon zest until smooth and lump-free, creating a herb-infused mixture.
- Crepe Cooking: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, lightly buttering the surface. Pour a thin layer of batter, quickly tilting and rotating the pan to spread evenly, creating a delicate round crepe.
- Crepe Technique: Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges crisp and surface sets. Flip carefully using a thin spatula, cooking the second side for 30-45 seconds. Transfer to a clean surface and repeat with remaining batter.
- Filling Preparation: Sauté mushrooms until golden and tender, simultaneously warming turkey pieces to intensify their flavor profile.
- Assembly and Serving: Layer Swiss cheese, cooked turkey, and sautéed mushrooms across each crepe. Roll tightly into a cylinder, ensuring filling remains secure. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while warm and aromatic.
Notes
Crepe Consistency: Whisk batter thoroughly to eliminate lumps, ensuring a silky-smooth texture that spreads effortlessly in the pan.
Temperature Control: Maintain medium-low heat to prevent burning and achieve a delicate, golden-brown crepe without scorching.
Filling Distribution: Spread ingredients evenly across the crepe’s surface to guarantee a balanced bite with turkey, mushrooms, and cheese in every mouthful.
Storage Tip: If not serving immediately, stack crepes between parchment paper and cover with a damp towel to prevent drying and maintain softness.
