Suggested Recipes
-
2/3 cup (150 mL) each whole wheat and all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
4 eggs
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) milk
1/4 cup (50 mL) butter, melted
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh chives
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh parsley
B?amel Sauce:
2 tbsp (25 mL) butter
1/4 cup (50 mL) all-purpose flour
2 cups (500 mL) milk
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 cup (250 mL) grated parmesan cheese
Filling:
2 tbsp (25 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
3 shallots or half small onion, finely chopped
2 bags (8 oz/227 g each) spinach, trimmed
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
2 cups (500 mL) shredded Gruy? or Swiss cheese
Preparation:
Heat 8-inch (20 cm) cr? pan or skillet over medium heat; brush with some of the remaining butter. For each cr?, pour scant 1/4 cup (50 mL) batter into centre of pan, swirling pan to coat; cook, turning once, until golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to plate. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper and wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze in airtight container for up to 1 month.)
B?amel Sauce: In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; whisk in flour and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes.
Whisk in milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking often, until smooth and thickened, about 10 minutes. Reserve 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the Parmesan cheese; whisk in remaining cheese. Keep warm. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours; reheat to serve.)
Filling: In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook shallots until golden and tender, about 3 minutes.
In batches, add spinach to pan; cook, stirring, until wilted and no liquid remains, about 8 minutes. Transfer to colander and press out liquid; coarsely chop. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Spread 2 tbsp (25 mL) b?amel on each cr?. Divide spinach mixture over top. Sprinkle each with heaping 2 tbsp (25 mL) Gruy? cheese. Roll up snugly. Arrange in single layer in 13- x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.)
Spread with remaining b?amel. Sprinkle with reserved Parmesan cheese. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until cheese is melted, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
