- Whole milk 1 l
- Flour 400 gr
- Eggs 8
- Extra virgin olive oil (EVO) 50 ml
- Sale 10 gr
- Butter for greasing
- Asparagus 1 kg
- Montasio 250 gr
- Bechamel sauce 1 l
- Butter 100 g
- Grana Padano 100g
- Egg yolk 2
- Panna 200 ml
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with a hand whisk and gradually add the flour. Add the milk, oil, and, lastly, the salt.
- Mix the ingredients until smooth. Heat a 20 cm nonstick pan, grease it lightly with butter, pour in a ladleful of the mixture, and, using a rotating motion, spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the pan. Let it cook for a few moments, then flip the crepe and cook the other side.
- Once cooked, remove the crepes from the pan and let them cool. Meanwhile, prepare the Mornay sauce: combine the cream, cheese, and egg yolks, stirring constantly with a whisk.
- Now prepare the filling for the crepes: clean the asparagus and dice them. Heat a nonstick pan, add the asparagus and butter, and sauté until lightly golden.
- Add the asparagus and diced Montasio cheese to the prepared béchamel sauce.
- Spread the mixture on the crepes and close them like a handkerchief.
- Arrange the crepes in a lightly buttered baking dish and cover with the Mornay sauce.
- Preheat the oven to 170°C, cook for 8-10 minutes, then grill the asparagus crepes for a couple of minutes.
