Ingredients

Scale

For the Crêpes

  • 125 g All-purpose flour (¾ cup)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 200 ml Milk
  • 1 tbsp Heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Butter (melted)

For the Filling

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1½ tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 300 ml Heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Dill (finely chopped)
  • 450 g Shrimps, pre-cooked and drained
  • 1 Egg (hard boiled and chopped)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

For Topping

  • Cheese (your preferred cheese, grated, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crêpe Batter: In a bowl, whisk together all the crêpe ingredients—flour, eggs, egg yolk, milk, heavy cream, and melted butter. Mix until smooth and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in the refrigerator to ensure tender crêpes.
  2. Cook the Crêpes: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and lightly butter it. Stir the melted butter into the batter before cooking. Pour about 50 ml (¼ cup) of batter into the pan, tilting or twirling it to spread thinly. Cook each crêpe for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side until lightly golden. Stack the cooked crêpes on a plate.
  3. Boil the Egg: Place the egg in boiling water and cook until hard-boiled, approximately 10 minutes. Once cooled, peel and chop the egg roughly.
  4. Make the Cream Sauce for Filling: In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Stir in 1½ tablespoons of flour and cook briefly. Gradually pour in 300 ml heavy cream while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for about one minute.
  5. Combine the Filling: Remove the pan from heat, then fold in the pre-cooked shrimps, chopped hard-boiled egg, and finely chopped dill. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly.
  6. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200℃ (392℉) to prepare for baking the crêpes.
  7. Assemble the Crêpes: Spoon a generous amount of the shrimp filling into the center of each crêpe. Fold the short sides inward, then roll from one long side to the other, placing the seam side down on a greased baking dish.
  8. Add the Cheese Topping: Sprinkle your preferred grated cheese evenly over the filled crêpes to add a savory, melted finish.
  9. Bake the Crêpes: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

  • Resting the crêpe batter is key to achieving delicate and tender crêpes.
  • Use pre-cooked shrimps to save time and ensure proper texture.
  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute part of the milk in the batter with heavy cream.
  • Feel free to customize the cheese topping; Gruyère or mozzarella work well.
  • These crêpes are best served immediately after baking but can be refrigerated and reheated gently.
