- 3 recipes Basic Crepes
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 teaspoon chopped dried tarragon
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 cups diced cooked chicken
- salt to taste
- 1/4 cup milk
- Prepare a basic crepe recipe in advance. Crepes can be made and frozen up to several weeks ahead of time.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook 2 minutes. Stir in flour until blended. Slowly whisk in 1 cup milk, whisking constantly until smooth. Mix in broth, wine, and tarragon; stir over medium-low heat until thickened (about 4 minutes).
- In a small bowl, gradually stir 3 tablespoons of the hot milk and broth sauce into the egg yolks; then pour egg mixture into sauce, whisking briskly. Cook 1 minute more, then remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, mix together half of the sauce with the chicken. Season with salt to taste.
- Fill each crepe with 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture. Roll crepes, and place seam-side down in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Thin the remaining sauce with 1/4 cup milk, and pour over crepes.
- Bake in a preheated oven 20 minutes, or until sauce begins to bubble.
