Method
Whisk together 1 egg, ½ cup milk2, a pinch of salt, and 1 cup flour; let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Cook 2 thin crepes on a skillet for 1 minute per side.
Cut chicken4 into small pieces, finely chop 1 onion6, and slice 150g mushrooms.
Sauté the onion6 in 1 tbsp oil for 2 minutes, then add the chicken4 and cook for 5 minutes until lightly browned.
Stir in the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 6–8 minutes until all moisture evaporates.
Pour in ½ cup heavy cream7 and simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Wrap the filling in the crepes, place in a baking dish, and sprinkle with 50g shredded cheese.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the center is hot.
Tips
- Why it works
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so the flour swells and the bliny don't tear when baked. If you skip this, they turn dry and brittle.
- Substitutions
- Replace the 10% cream with 20% sour cream. The sauce gets thicker, but add 10 g less. Leave the onion in larger pieces if you don't like chopping it finely.
- Common mistakes
- If the filling is raw inside, the oven was below 190 °C or the time was too short. Check the middle with a knife.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for 2 days and reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes under a lid. Don't freeze, the bliny get soggy.
- Serve with
- Serve with pickled cucumbers or sauerkraut for a sour contrast. Works for a weekday family dinner.
