- Eight 6- or 7-inch savory or garbanzo flour crepes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Gruyere cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 shallots or green onions (white part only), chopped
- 1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) sliced cultivated white mushrooms
- 4 1/2 cups (1 1/4 pounds) diced cooked turkey or chicken
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- Prepare the crepes.
- To make the Mornay sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, add the flour, and cook, stirring, until the mixture is bubbly, about 1 minute.
- Add the milk, broth, salt and pepper to taste, and nutmeg and whisk until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in the Gruyere.
- Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and saute the shallots for 1 minute, or until translucent.
- Add the mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes, or until soft.
- Reserve 1/3 cup of the Mornay sauce for topping.
- Mix the mushrooms, turkey, and parsley into the pan with the remaining sauce.
- Place a crepe in a greased 9-inch pie pan and cover it with 2/3 cup of the filling.
- Cover with a second crepe and repeat filling, stacking, and layering the remaining crepes.
- Leave the top crepe unfilled; spread the reserved Mornay sauce over it and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere.
- If desired, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Allow refrigerated crepe cake to come to room temperature before baking.
- To bake, preheat the oven to 375F.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until heated through.
