Ingredients
For the crepes:
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup water
- a pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
For the sauce:
- 3.5 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups milk
- nutmeg a pinch
For the filling:
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup hard cheese
- green onion
- dill
Instructions
- Combine the eggs with a small amount of sifted flour and a pinch of salt. Then gradually pour in the hot milk and add the flour, stirring constantly with a whisk. Finally, add the vegetable oil. The batter should flow easily from the ladle.
- Grease the pan once with vegetable oil and bake the crepes. I got 25 thin crepes (the diameter of the pan is 15 cm).
- For the milk sauce (you can call it béchamel), you need to take a saucepan or a pot with a thick bottom. Melt the butter, add the flour, and mix well until you get a smooth paste. Then, stirring continuously, gradually pour in 500 ml of hot milk. As soon as the sauce starts to bubble, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce.
- Grate the hard cheese using a grater.
- Mix the soft cream cheese with the chopped green onion and dill.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture on the crepe, sprinkle some grated cheese on one side. Roll up the crepe.
- Pour some of the sauce onto the bottom of the dish and arrange the crepe rolls on top.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the crepes and sprinkle grated cheese on top.
- Bake the crepes in the oven at 180°C for 30 minutes.
- Serve with vegetables and greens. I added green onions and sun-dried tomatoes to my plate.
