Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients for the pancake batter:
- 2 liters of milk
- 4 eggs
- 4 packets of vanilla sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Approximately 400 g of flour (the flour will be adjusted according to the desired consistency)
- 1 cup of oil
Ingredients for the filling:
- 500 g of finely chopped champignon mushrooms
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- ½ red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon of flour (for thickening the sauce)
- A little oil for sautéing
- 200 g of cheese (sheep cheese is recommended for a stronger flavor)
- 50 g of grated cheese (for topping)
- 2 beaten eggs with salt (for brushing the pancakes)
- 200 g of sour cream (for a creamy taste)
Preparing the pancakes:
1. Prepare the pancake batter: In a large bowl, beat the 4 eggs together with the vanilla sugar and lemon zest until you have a smooth and fluffy mixture. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Start incorporating the flour gradually to avoid lumps. Finally, add the cup of oil and mix well until you obtain a fluid and homogeneous batter.
2. Cook the pancakes: In a well-heated non-stick pan, pour a ladle of batter and swirl the pan to evenly distribute the mixture. The pancake will be ready to flip when the edges start to lift. Continue with the remaining batter, being careful not to add more oil to the pan, as you have already included oil in the batter. This will prevent the pancakes from sticking.
Preparing the filling:
3. Sauté the vegetables: In a separate pan, add a little oil and sauté the onion and red bell pepper until they become translucent. Add the chopped mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Let them cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their water and become tender.
4. Thicken the filling: If the filling is too watery, you can add a tablespoon of flour mixed with a little milk or sour cream to achieve a thicker consistency. Mix well and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Assembling the pancakes:
5. Fill the pancakes: Place the pancakes on a platter and put 2-3 teaspoons of mushroom filling on each pancake. Add a little cheese on top of the filling, then fold the pancake by bringing the edges inward and rolling it carefully.
6. Bake the pancakes: Place the stuffed pancakes in a greased baking dish. Beat the two eggs with salt and add the sour cream. Pour this mixture evenly over the pancakes and sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes, or until a golden and appetizing crust forms.
Serving and suggestions:
7. Enjoy: Mushroom-stuffed pancakes are delicious both warm and cold. You can serve them with a spoonful of sour cream on top or with a seasonal salad for a fresh contrast. Treat your guests to a special culinary experience!
Practical tips:
- Mushroom ingredients: You can experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or porcini, for a more intense flavor.
- Variations: If you want a vegetarian version, you can add vegetables like spinach or zucchini to the filling.
- Extra creaminess: Adding a splash of cream cheese to the filling will give it an even richer flavor.
