Ingredients
8 large crepes (store-bought or homemade)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cups mushrooms, sliced
3 cups fresh spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Mushroom and Spinach Filling:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and browned.
- Stir in the minced garlic and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Crepes:
- Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
- Fill each crepe with the mushroom-spinach mixture and roll them up tightly.
- Place each rolled crepe seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Top with Sauce and Cheese:
- Pour the remaining sauce over the filled crepes.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Bake:
- Bake the crepes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the crepes cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
To make this dish vegan, use dairy-free cheese and plant-based butter, and substitute almond or oat milk for the milk.
You can add cooked chicken, ground turkey, or tofu to the mushroom-spinach filling for a protein boost.
For more flavor, add fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil to the filling.
