  • 50 g Gruyère cheese
  • Salt
  • white pepper
  • 50 g butter
  • 2 Eggs
  • 200 ml milk
  • 100 g flour
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp chives
  • 1 tbsp Sunflower oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 40 g Butter
  • 300 g spinach (washed and trimmed)
  • 200 g mushrooms (cleaned and thinly sliced)
  • 50 g Gruyère cheese (grated)
  • Salt
  • white pepper

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Heat the butter in a small pan until golden brown, then let it cool for 2 minutes. In a blender combine eggs, milk, flour, 4 pinches of salt and a little pepper; blend for 1 minute. Add the butter and blend for another 30 seconds. Stir in chives and parsley, then set aside.

  2. 2.

    Heat half the butter in a large pan and add the spinach. Cook over high heat, stirring until it wilts. Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze out excess liquid, transfer to a bowl, and set aside.

  3. 3.

    Heat the remaining butter in a pan and sauté mushrooms for about 2 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the spinach and cheese; stir well and set aside.

  4. 4.

    Pour the pancake batter into a large non-stick skillet and cook thin pancakes until golden brown on both sides. Oil the pan lightly before each batch.

  5. 5.

    Fill the pancakes with the spinach-mushroom mixture, roll tightly, and arrange side by side in a baking dish. Bring the cream to a boil, simmer for 1-2 minutes, then season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour over the rolled pancakes, sprinkle with cheese, and bake at 200°C for 20 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately.
