  • Step 1: Crepe Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and white unbleached flour.

  • Step 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, water, eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and salt.

  • Step 3

    Gradually add the liquid mixture to the flour, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

  • Step 4

    Cover and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour or overnight.

  • Step 5

    Heat a lightly greased crepe pan or skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/3 cup batter into the pan and quickly swirl to coat the bottom evenly.

  • Step 6

    Cook for approximately 20–40 seconds, then flip and cook the other side for another 15–45 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

  • Step 7: Mushroom Filling

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and the moisture has mostly evaporated.

  • Step 8

    Add about 3 tablespoons oil, the sliced onion, garlic, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Cook until the onion is soft and lightly golden.

  • Step 9

    If using spinach, add it and cook just until wilted. Remove the filling from the heat.

  • Step 10

    Place some mushroom filling and shredded Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a combination of both onto each crepe. Fold the crepes into envelopes or your preferred shape.

  • Step 11

    Melt about 2–3 tablespoons butter in a skillet and fry the filled crepes on both sides until lightly golden and heated through. Serve with sour cream and optional dill pickles.

  • Step 12: Creamy Chicken Filling

    Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Step 13

    Add the thinly sliced green onion tops and garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently.

  • Step 14

    Add the diced cooked chicken and cook for about 3 minutes.

  • Step 15

    Add the cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.

  • Step 16

    Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, then remove from the heat.

  • Step 17

    Spoon the creamy chicken filling onto each crepe and fold into envelopes or your preferred shape.

  • Step 18

    Fry the filled crepes in a lightly buttered skillet until golden on both sides and heated through. Serve warm.
