Gateau de Crepes aux Epinards

Recipe By : Posted once again to r.f.cooking by Barb Schaller 2-3-05
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :1:00
Categories : Entrees

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Crepes:
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons clarified butter
Filling:
2 pkg. frozen chopped spinach -- (10 oz. each)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
3 tablespoons half and half
1 teaspoon sugar
dash nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
To Finish:
1 cup Mornay sauce
1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese

Prepare crepes: Beat eggs and egg yolks with milk, using a whisk or
fork. Add flour and salt, beat until smooth. Batter should be the
consistency of heavy cream. Add butter; let stand 30 minutes. Using
about 1/4 cup batter, bake crepes (thin pancakes) in a hot heavy skillet
or a crepe pan, turning once. Set aside or freeze for future use.
Makes about 15 six-inch crepes. To prepare filling: cook the spinach
according to package directions and drain thoroughly. Melt butter, add
flour and stir. Add half and half, cook and stir until smooth
(essentially, a thick white sauce). Stir in well-drained spinach,
sugar, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Stack the crepes in a buttered pie
plate, spreading about 1/3 cup of spinach mixture between each (will use
about 5-7 crepes). Cover with Mornay sauce (a glorified white
sauce--add some grated cheese to 1 cup medium white sauce) and sprinkle
with grated Swiss cheese. Bake at 400° for about 10-15 minutes. Makes
6-8 servings.

Steam your broccoli, puree and add to bechamel, nutmeg and a bit of parmasan if
you have it. Combine with beaten eggs to make a thick mixture that when baked
will souffle.

Now create beggars purses with the crepes, a layer of the broccoli souffle
mixture on the bottom, shredded smoked chicken on the top. Close, tie up with a
strip of scallion, brush with some butter and bake until done. Nice with a red
pepper sauce.

How about a cream sauce with cheese, like Gruyere?

Chicken enchiladas? There are many ways to tweak your ingredients to get to
enchiladas. You didn't say what kind of cheese you have on hand.

I like this souffle idea. What are beggars purses? I just wish I had some
sort of red sauce. That would be good!

I can ask my neighbor to take me to the store, I guess, but I'd probably
have to settle on Swiss and not Gruyere. (Should have said I'm really
poor.)

I have no cheese, but crepes would make an interesting enchilada base!
Maybe I'll just freeze the suckers and do nothing. LOL

What are beggars purses?

Lay your crepe flat. Place filling centered. Now gathering the crepe create a
little bundle as if you are wrapping a bowling ball as a gift. *grin* Tie with
a scallion or some other edible "string". Brush with Butter and bake on a
cookie sheet. It's a novel way to use crepes or phyllo.

Another thing you could do is create a torte with the same ingredients. Crepe,
then souffle, then chicken and sauce, then another crepe...continue layering
until you have a "torte" a few inches or more tall. Make a nice veloute to pour
over it after it's baked. I do this sometimes with enchilada ingredients when
I'm too lazy to roll. 😉

What a cute idea! My hubby gets paid tomorrow and the ingredients can wait
one more day. I may wait and make something tomorrow so that we can guy a
few more things. Obviously I don't have enough to concoct something.

Thanks for all the ideas! I like the souffle idea and the beggar's purse
idea. Then there's that canneloni idea too....hmmmmm

Yeah, but it can be a good problem to have sometimes. :~) Freshly done
brisket or even chicken is good, but after it's been sitting for 4 days or
so..........forget it. You have to find alternative uses for it at that
point. I was hoping I could make something today, but I need more
ingredients so I have to wait until I have money and my neighbor is home so
she can take me to the store. I'm sadly lacking a vehicle. (Not that I
could even find the store in this godforsaken [censored] I moved to from
Maui - but I digress.)
