Crèpes time!!!!

I'm really lame at keeping this blog freshly updated! Hmmm... Will I be forgiven if I share my crèpes recipe. I should rather say 'galette' as tonight I've made salty ones. Thanks to my friend Lulu who inspired me actually... Merci Lulu ;-)

As I left work, I decided to head to the supermarket. My mental shopping list consisted of:
- Milk
- Cheese
- Mushrooms
and OF COURSE Nutella!

The plan was to make galettes as well as crèpes but when I arrived home I realized that Nutella wasn't in my shopping bag and therefore decided to make only galettes! I could have used melted Milka squares but for some reason I didn't! And no, I'm not on diet! I love food so much that I can't go on diet!

The funny thing with crèpes and galettes is that you can be very creative when it comes to filling or spreading them. Here's how mine turned out:


Crèpes (salty dough):
(makes 12 medium crèpes)

- 2 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup flour
- 1 Tbsp crème fraîche
my personal touch consists of adding:
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp oregano
- Salt

In a bowl, mix together eggs, milk and spiced until homogeneous then incorporate flour while mixing until smooth.
Let rest for 30 minutes before pan-cooking.

Fillings:
- Tiger shrimps
- Grilled vegetables: bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms
- Quark with herbs
- Cream cheese or any spreadable cheese you fancy
- Grated Gouda cheese
- Camembert and/or goat cheese

These are the ingredients I used tonight but you are free to use other stuff. I personally combined two of these each time which I spread or lay over my crèpe before rolling it. Once rolled, I placed the crèpes in an oven-dish. I poured a tomato-ricotta sauce over half of the crèpes, the second half nakes and then covered all with grated cheese in order to gratinate the crèpes in a 210°C pre-heated oven.

Enjoy alone or with friends! I have mine alone... snif, but my friends on the Island gathered to enjoy theirs and we spent nearly 1h speaking over the phone about our crèpes :)
