Crepe Souffle Recipes

CHEESE CREPE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the butter in 9x13 inch baking dish, and put into the oven until melted, about 3 minutes. Place the blintzes into the baking dish in a single layer on top of the melted butter.
• Whip the egg whites in a bowl until they form soft peaks, about 5 minutes, and set aside.
• Whisk together the egg yolks, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/3 of the whipped egg whites into the sour cream mixture. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining whipped egg whites, folding just until incorporated. Pour the mixture over the blintzes in the baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the eggs are set and puffy and the top is golden brown, about 45 minutes.

CHERRIES CREPE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• To make the crepes: In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, cook 1/2 stick of butter until it slightly brown. In a standing mixer, put in flour, eggs, egg yolk, milk and 3 tablespoons kirsch, beat well on medium speed until just combined. Strain mixture through a fine strainer. Add the brown butter to this mixture, combine well and leave it to rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours. In a preheated 8-inch skillet, brush with a little melted butter and pour in 1/4 cup of crepe batter. Swirl the skillet around and coat it well with batter and pour excess back into batter mixture. Cook crepes until lightly brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Hold aside at room temperature
• To make the crepe filling: In a standing mixer, cream 1 stick of butter with confectioners sugar on medium speed until well combined. Add 2 tablespoons kirsch, mix for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl and keep in refrigerator.
• In a medium skillet, melt remaining 1/2 stick of butter on medium heat and cook remaining 2 cups of cherries, coat well with butter. Add 1/4 cup sugar and cook, until slightly soft, about 2 to 5 minutes depending on cherry size. Then add 2 tablespoons of kirsch, remove the skillet from the stove top and ignite to flambe the cherries. Allow the flame to burn out the alcohol.
• Preheat oven to 170 degrees F. Spread each crepe with a tablespoon of crepe filling. Roll the crepe and sides in like a spring roll. Place 2 crepes in the middle of each serving plate, warm in oven for 5 minutes. To serve, garnish with some of the cooked cherries and a scoop of the Cherry Sorbet.
• In a medium saucepan, combine cherries with water and lemon, bring to a boil and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Add sugar, stir to dissolve and cook for another 15 minutes. Then add the corn syrup and allow to cool before pouring mixture into the ice cream machine. In the machine, bring mixture to soft to firm consistency and keep in freezer.

SPICED SOUFFLé CREPE WITH SAUTéED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 12-inch iron skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the thyme sprigs over medium-high heat. Add the apples and brown on all sides until just tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the sugar and cook, gently stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the apples caramelize, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove the thyme and set the apples aside. Wipe the skillet clean.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pod and seeds with the melted butter, egg yolks, 1/2 cup of the sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cake flour and a pinch of salt. Whisk in the milk until combined.
• Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt, gradually adding the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Whip to soft peaks, and then fold into the batter.
• Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the clean skillet over medium-high heat, swirling the butter up the sides of the pan. When the butter is foamy, spread the sauteed apples in the pan, then pour in the batter. Transfer to the oven and bake uncovered until the center of crepe no longer wobbles when shaken, 20 to 25 minutes. Sift confectioners' sugar on top, and if you like, serve with vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche.

QUINCE CALVADOS CRêPE SOUFFLES

Steps:

• Make crêpe batter:
• Whisk together all crêpe ingredients until smooth, then chill, covered, 30 minutes.
• Poach quince:
• Combine water, sugar, zest, and a pinch of salt in a 3-quart heavy saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Add quince and simmer, covered, until fruit is very tender but not falling apart, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Discard zest.
• Cook crêpes while fruit poaches:
• Lightly brush an 8- to 9-inch nonstick skillet with butter, then heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Holding skillet off heat, pour in a scant 1/4 cup batter, immediately tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly.) Return skillet to heat and cook crêpe until just set and golden around edges, 10 to 15 seconds. Loosen edge of crêpe with a heatproof rubber spatula, then transfer crêpe to a plate. Brush skillet with more butter and make 3 more crêpes in same manner, stacking crêpes on plate.
• Finish preparing quince:
• Measure out 3/4 cup poached fruit with a slotted spoon and 3 tablespoons cooking syrup (reserve remainder in saucepan), then purée in a food processor with vanilla and 1 tablespoon Calvados until smooth.
• Transfer remaining fruit from reserved syrup with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Pour syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl, then return to saucepan and boil until reduced to about 1/2 cup, 8 to 12 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and remaining tablespoon Calvados and cool.
• Measure out 3/4 cup reserved fruit, then chop and set aside. Stir remaining fruit into reduced syrup and set aside separately.
• Make soufflés:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
• Beat whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer at medium-high speed until they just hold soft peaks. Add granulated sugar in a slow stream, beating, and beat at medium-high speed until whites just hold stiff peaks. Fold one third of whites into quince purée, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Gently fold in chopped fruit.
• Brush bottom sides of crêpes with some melted butter and put in a 15- by 10-inch shallow baking pan (about half of each crêpe will hang over). Divide soufflé mixture among crêpes, spooning it in center and spreading it over half of each crêpe. Gently fold other half of each crêpe over filling to rest on top. Bake until filling is puffed, set, and pale golden in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Dust crêpes with confectioners sugar and serve immediately with reserved quince and syrup.
