{Today I am partnering with LAND O’ LAKES® to bring you these KILLER, buttery, delicious crepes. Their European Style Super Premium Salted Butter makes all the difference here…and clearly I am so excited to share these with you!}

Being completely honest here, for me, it really doesn’t get much better than buttered crepes.

I mean, I’d gladly eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Especially these hazelnut crepes, there’s just something so incredibly special about them. I think it’s the combo of hazelnut flour and the LAND O LAKES® European Style Super Premium Salted Butter that has me semi-obsessed. The combo is one you don’t want to miss out on.

Plus, plus, plus (sorry, I am pretty excited over here) these crepes get filled with goat cheese, topped with a caramelized mushroom and kale sauté, and then drizzled with honey. Then, just to put these crepes over the top, I covered them with delicious pomegranate seeds, simply because they are gorgeous gems of fall beauty and I cannot get enough of them.

But I mean really, does that all not sound amazing or what?!?!

Did I mention the buttered part? Oh my…I can’t even…just so good! Honestly, this is my favorite kind of meal!!

If you are not a crepe person, or maybe not a mushroom person, now is the time to change that. Yes, this is the recipe that will broaden your palate. It’s no secret that we really love crepes in our family. My mom has taught me a lot of really important life lessons. Here are just a few: butter is not a food to be looked down upon, but a food to be enjoyed, whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert. She’s also taught me that carbs (especially carbs and butter) are harmless as long as you keep moving. On top of that, she has shown me that fruity desserts (e.g., cheesecake, pie, crumbles, etc) and sweet breakfast foods are equally delicious for lunch! And, at least for her, hot chocolate always rules over coffee (even though I am loving coffee right now, I’d always prefer a mocha if given the option). And possibly the most important thing she taught me is that chocolate (of the darkest kind) is health food and should be eaten with or after every meal…we sort of apply that same thinking to butter though too…

Which brings me back to these buttered hazelnut crepes. Crepes are a food we make often around here. Or at least I make them often, everyone else just eats them often. I think I probably have the short end of the deal, but someone’s got to make them, and crepes are worth every ounce of effort you put into them.

Trust me on this. Make yourself some crepes…you’ll probably have a hard time sharing.

Just sayin’.

Instead of your typical everyday crepes, I switched things up and made hazelnut crepes…with extra butter (the only way they should ever be made). Having already experienced a number of colder days around here, I am left craving warm and comforting foods. It’s probably pretty obvious, but I am a huge fan of sweet and savory, so anytime I can make a meal that way, I will. Enter these crepes. They are pretty much all the savory things we love: carbs, mushrooms, kale, goat cheese, eggs. But then there is that tiny drizzle of honey, that salty butter and those pomegranate seeds that really pull the recipe together and make it extra special.

I think of this recipe as an anytime meal. Sure, it could totally be brunch, but I love it best as a breakfast for dinner situation. Anyone else with me?

Even though it may seem that these crepes are a bit indulgent, they’re actually a very wholesome meal full of fiber, colorful veggies, fruit and tons of protein, thanks to the goat cheese and fried egg. Perfectly balanced and veggie-focused meal, if you ask me.

I’m thinking Sunday night dinner? Maybe an easy meatless Monday meal? Either way, you have to make them!!

Ingredients

Hazelnut Crepes

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk I use 2%
  • 1/2 cup hazelnut flour * I use Bob's Red Mill
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or try subbing your favorite gluten free blend
  • 3 tablespoons Land O' Lakes European Style Super Premium Salted Butter
  • 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup water + plus more if needed

Fillings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons Land O' Lakes European Style Super Premium Salted Butter divided
  • 4 cups mixed mushrooms I used cremini, shiitake and button
  • 1 small bunch kale chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper plus more to taste
  • 3/4 cups apple cider may sub chicken or veggie broth if needed
  • 8 ounces goat cheese softened
  • arils from 1 pomegranate
  • honey fried sage and thyme, for serving
  • 4 fried eggs optional
  • [Land O' Lakes European Style Super Premium Salted Butter | http://www.landolakes.com/Products/Custom/2222303.aspx] for serving

Instructions

  • To make the crepes, add 3 tablespoons butter to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Whisk constantly until brown bits appear on the bottom, about 5 to 6 minutes, then immediately remove from heat and set aside. Combine all the remaining crepe ingredients in a blender or food processor. Add the browned butter and pulse for 30 seconds or until well combined. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over high heat, add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. When the butter has melted, sprinkle the mushrooms into a single layer. Don't stir them! Let them sizzle until they have caramelized on the bottom, about 2 minutes. When the bottoms are caramelized, toss them once and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue to cook without stirring for about 5 minutes. Next, add the chopped kale and 1 more tablespoon butter, cook until the kale is lightly wilted, about 2 minutes. Once the kale has wilted, reduce the heat and add the garlic, thyme and sage, cooking for about 1 minute. Add the apple cider and simmer until the sauce has reduced. Keep warm on the stove while you make the crepes.
  • To make the crepes, heat a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray (I like to use cooking spray) to coat. Pour 1/3 cup of crepe batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook another 10 seconds and then remove the crepe to a plate, spread a little butter on to the crepe while it's still warm. Continue to make the crepes until all the batter is gone, spreading each crepe with butter as it comes off the stove. Makes about 10 crepes.
  • To assemble, take one warm crepe and sprinkle goat cheese over half the crepe. Fold the bottom half of the crepe over to make a half circle and then fold in half again to make a triangle. Add the mushroom filling to the top of the crepe. Top with pomegranate arils and drizzle with honey. Add your fried egg and enjoy warm with extra butter for serving.

Notes

*If you do not have hazelnut flour, all-purpose flour can be substituted.

  1. These work perfectly for a Sunday brunch, and if there’s too much of it, I think throwing everything into a food processor and then into a little more of this good butter in a cast-iron skillet will turn into a great deal of veggie balls! I love your photos, they are so moody!

  2. Love your savoury crepes! The only crepes that have been churned out in our house have been my brother’s versions slathered with nutella (and possibly strawberries if around), but I think that needs to change – goats cheese, wild mushrooms and sautéed kale sounds like an amazing combination. Plus pomegranate seeds make anything look prettier, and that little bright pop of flavour is the best! <3

  3. These look terrific. I found logs of goat cheese with honey at Trader Joe’s and I’m going to use it for this. Why are you making us wait for pictures of your little kitten? Is it like the barn and we won’t see it until it’s through growing and weighs 16 pounds? Pictures. We need pictures of this cute little fur baby.

    1. Oh I am sorry! I just have not had time, BUT you will see a glimps of him tomorrow in my video! 🙂

      Thanks Maralyn!

  4. Be still my heart, those buttered crepes look beyond delish! I think I just found Sunday night dinner :).

  5. i’m the kind of person who tends to go for the sweet crepes (with butter and cinnamon-sugar, please!), but these sound so amazing that i’m all for savory for once. it’s going to make the perfect cozy lunch for me soon (:

  6. A little off topic…we had a tiny bit of rain in Long Beach, CA this morning. Have had your Crockpot Sunday Sauce on since 0430. My house smells so wonderful. Thinking lots of leftovers for lunches too. Yum yum.

  7. These look amazing, Tieghan!! I love savory crepes, we always had them for lunch in France. And I especially love the mushrooms, I’ve been really into them lately 😀

  8. Yum, this sounds totally awesome ! I am so with you on breakfast for dinner :-). Enjoy the rest of your day.
