Ingredients

Scale

Crêpe Batter

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

Filling

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

Topping

  • Cheese (Your preferred cheese topping, quantity as desired)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crêpe Batter: Whisk together all the crêpe ingredients including the eggs, egg yolk, flour, milk, heavy cream, and melted butter. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to an hour at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator to ensure a smooth and elastic batter.
  2. Cook Crêpes: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease with butter. Stir melted butter into the batter before cooking. Pour 50 ml (¼ cup) of batter into the hot pan, tilting or swirling to spread thinly. Cook each side for 30 seconds to 1 minute until lightly browned. Stack finished crêpes on a plate.
  3. Boil Egg: Hard boil one egg by placing it in boiling water until fully cooked (about 9-12 minutes). Peel and chop the egg finely for the filling.
  4. Make Creamy Shrimp Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir to form a roux, then gradually pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook for about one minute until thickened, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  5. Add Filling Ingredients: Remove the sauce from heat and mix in the pre-cooked shrimps, finely chopped dill, and chopped hard-boiled egg. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring a creamy but flavorful filling.
  6. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 200℃ (392℉) to prepare for baking the assembled crêpes.
  7. Assemble Crêpes: Spoon a generous amount of the shrimp filling into the center of each crêpe. Fold the short sides inward, then roll the crêpe tightly along the long side, finishing with the seam side down to secure.
  8. Add Cheese Topping: Place the filled crêpes seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over the top for a cheesy crust.
  9. Bake: Bake the filled crêpes in the preheated oven for several minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden brown, creating a delicious bubbly topping.

Notes

  • Resting the crêpe batter improves texture and makes crêpes easier to cook.
  • Use pre-cooked shrimp to save time; rinse if needed and drain well.
  • For a richer filling, choose a full-fat heavy cream and butter.
  • Feel free to substitute dill with parsley or chives if preferred.
  • The type of cheese can vary: Gruyère, mozzarella, or cheddar work well for melting.
  • Ensure the pan is hot enough to cook crêpes quickly without sticking.
  • Store leftover crêpes and filling separately in the fridge and reassemble before baking.
