Mixing Bowl
Serving Plate
Refrigerator
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1.5 pounds mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, portobello), finely chopped
- 1 large onion, diced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons butter
- q.s. Fresh thyme and parsley to garnish
- to taste Salt and pepper
Whisk together flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and garlic until smooth; let it rest for 15 minutes.
Heat butter in a large skillet, add diced onion, and cook until soft; then add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add chopped mushrooms to the skillet; cook until they release water and brown slightly.
Season mushroom mix with salt, pepper, and thyme; stir in cream cheese and cheddar until melted, then set aside.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, grease lightly with butter, and pour in about 1/3 cup of batter to form pancake layers; flip when edges lift.
Repeat until all batter is used; you should have 10-12 layers.
To assemble, place a pancake layer on a serving plate, add mushroom filling, and repeat until all layers are stacked.
Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 2 hours before serving.
Feel free to mix different mushroom varieties for more complex flavors. You can make the components a day ahead to save time. Consider using a springform pan for cleaner edges and presentation. Leftovers taste better the next day; keep covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. Serve warm with a side salad for a complete meal.
