Directions

- Heat an 8 inch non-stick crepe pan or frypan over medium-low heat. Lightly coat pan with additional butter. Remove pan from heat. Pour ¼ cup batter into pan. Swirl pan until batter evenly coats the surface. Return pan to heat and cook until crepe is firm around edges and lightly browned, about 1 minute. Loosen edges of crepe from pan using a spatula. Slide spatula under crepe and quickly flip it over; cook for an additional 30 seconds or just until lightly browned.

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 6 cups sliced mushrooms
- ½ cup white wine
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 cups milk (2%)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground pepper
- ¾ cup shredded smoked Gouda
- 1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese, divided
- 1 tsp dried thyme, crumbled
Directions
- Melt butter with oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion until softened and slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Stir until incorporated. Reduce heat to medium. Gradually whisk in milk. Simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 8 – 10 minutes.

Let cool, stirring occasionally, to room temperature. Partially cover bowl and refrigerate until completely cooled, about 1 hour. Remove sauce from refrigerator. Whisk until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
