I like the idea of keto crepes very much as, just like traditional crepes, they give a huge field of creativity. Thus, by treating them as a base, you can prepare many different ideas for ketogenic meals. This is my fourth keto pancake idea, and I have a few more in my head. It’s typical keto meal high in fat content with very low carb intake. Thanks to that crepes are very fulfilling, I had two for my dinner and I was filling full for hours.

Although I would add more mushrooms. I had 500 grams of white mushrooms and I fill like I could stuff these crepes with 500 grams more. So if you like a lot of stuffing be prepare and buy some extra mushrooms. I also used mature cheddar – quite tangy and strong, but you can use any kind of cheese you like. Just remember that if you use very mild cheese all over taste might be quite dull. In this case I would spice it up with some chopped garlic. Garlic always goes great with mushrooms and cheese.

For me these crepes are kind of keto comfort food, warming cheesy and fulfilling. One of these you can eat sitting on the couch, under cosy blanket, watching your favourite movie. Next time I’ll try adding more mushrooms, different kind of cheese and plenty of garlic.

mushroom and cheddar keto crepes

INGREDIENTS for 4-5 crepes:

• 4-5 eggs (one egg per crepe)
• 8-10 tsp double cream
• 500g mushrooms
• 1 small onion
• 2 slices of butter
• piece of mature cheddar cheese
• some parmesan cheese for decoration
• natural rock salt
• coarse pepper
• optionally: 1 garlic clove

DIRECTIONS

I would advise you to make 4 rather than 5 crepes for this amount of mushrooms. I made 5 crepes and I feel like I could have more mushroom filling. But if you like them to be really stuffed even double the portion of mushrooms. Everything depends of your liking.

So first prepare crepes. Whip one egg with two teaspoons of double cream and fry on a hot pan . I use special crepe pan, it has a low rim and it’s really helpful with making crepes. Although if you have a regular pan it’s absolutely OK. When the pan is hot pour the mixture on, and spread out the batter evenly holding the pan and making circular movements. When you see that the edges of the crepe starts to pull away from the pan, take the spatula and very gently flip it over. If it folds , no worries just gently unfold it and try again. It’s quite tricky as the crepes are delicate, but if you have some experience with making regular crepes, you’ll manage with these as well. You can also give the pan a little shake to make sure that it doesn’t stick to it (if it does, shake a bit more or help yourself with a spatula), then make a circle with your hand, tossing crepe into the air. If you’re lucky enough, your crepe should land on the pan with the other side. It should work well with shallow, crepe pan. If you have a regular deeper one, the high edge of the pan might not let you flip crepes easily. This method requires a little bit of experience, so don’t give up if it doesn’t work. If your crepe folds, just unfold it and try one more time. If you’re having trouble with making crepes have a look here, to my fist keto crepe recipe where I have left couple tips for you to make this process easier and more pleasant.

Ready made crepes cover with a plate and keep in warm place.

In the meantime you can peel or wash mushrooms (I always peel white mushrooms before I use them) and slice them. Also peel and finely chop onion. Take another pan, heat it adding a slice of butter. First fry onions until golden. Then add all the mushrooms, sprinkle with some salt (not too much mushrooms will significantly reduce an you don’t want them to by over salted) and coarse pepper. Fry until golden. If you use mild cheese I recommend adding one chopped garlic clove to stuffing to make the taste a bit more sharp.

Grate some cheddar cheese. My cheddar had a quite strong taste so I didn’t add much of it, you can add quite a lot, too much cheese makes me slightly nauseous, so I didn’t use a lot, but if you feel fine with lots of cheese go ahead. From the same reason I used mature cheddar, it had tangy and strong taste but you can use any cheese you like.

Take a crepe, place some mushroom filling, grated cheese and roll it like a burrito. Do the same with the rest of crepes.

Heat the pan (I used the one I fried mushrooms on) adding another slice of butter. Place all the crepes on the pan, cover it with lid (I have a lid with holes so water doesn’t condense inside but evaporates) and fry until golden on both sides on a small heat.

Serve hot, sprinkled with some parmesan cheese or extra cheddar.

Enjoy! 🙂
