This recipe is a real and easy delight to test easily at home! Let's dig in!

INGREDIENTS

1. 1 cup of flour

2. 4 eggs

3. 1 teaspoon of salt

4. 1 tablespoon 7-Herbs and Garlic

5. 1/2 cup of melted butter

6. 2 cups of milk

7. 1 cup of Swiss Cheese
   

The ground beef:

• 1 chopped onion

• 250 g ground beef (lamb can be used)

• 1 garlic clove

• 1 tablespoon Jerky

• 1 tablespoon Mechoui

• 1 tablespoon 7-Herbs and Garlic

• ¼ tsp cinnamon

• Salt and pepper

• Olive oil

The béchamel sauce:

• 4 tablespoons of butter

• 1/4 cup of flour

• 2 1/2 cups of evaporated milk

• 1 teaspoon Mechoui

• 1 teaspoon Chai

Additional:

• 1 cup of chives

• 2 cups of cut mushrooms

• 3 cups of Swiss cheese

PREPARATION

Step 1

1. Put the flour in a bowl with salt and 7-Herbs and Garlic

2. Make a well in the middle and pour the eggs into it.

3. Melt some butter and reserve

4. Start mixing gently. When the mixture becomes thick, add the milk by small portions

5. When all the milk is mixed, the dough should be fairly fluid. If it seems too thick, add a little milk

6. Then add the cooled melted butter, mix well

7. Add some cheese to the mixture, mix well and reserve

Step 2

1. Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the onion and the garlic then sauté until the onion is translucent

2. Add the ground beef and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the meat is fully cooked. Add the spices, then salt and pepper for taste. Mix everything well and remove from heat. Let it cool

Step 3

1. Start cooking the crêpes in a greased hot pan (you can use butter or oil spray). Pour a small ladle of dough into the pan, rotate it to distribute the dough over the entire surface. Place on the fire

2. You can turn the crêpe over when it's turning light red

3. Cook for about a minute on that side; in the meantime, grease a deep baking dish

4. Lay the crêpes out individually on the work surface. Spread the ground beef filling evenly over the crêpes, sprinkle with Swiss cheese and chives

5. Roll them up and arrange them in the baking dish. Spread the mushrooms over the crêpes

Step 4

1. Now let's make the béchamel sauce!

2. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan

3. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon without letting it color. The flour should just thicken

4. Pour the milk gradually, without stopping stirring, until the sauce thickens.

5. Season with Mechoui and Chai. Salt and pepper for taste

Step 5

1. Pour the béchamel sauce over everything and sprinkle with Swiss cheese

2. Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown.

As usual, make sure to let us know how it went.

Bon Appetit,
