Panzano in the Hotel Monaco, 909 17th
St., was recently updated with a cool new look and menu
items, but Chef Elise Wiggins did keep her Mushroom
Crepes on the menu. A fonduta sauce combines the fontina
cheese and white wine of a traditional fonduta with
white truffle oil instead of truffles.
Crespelle ai Funghi

Mushroom Filling:
1cup wild mushroom mix (mushrooms should be slipped
1/4-inch thick)
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fonduta Sauce:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1cup heavycream
½ shallot,diced
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
¼ cup white wine
¼ cup chicken stock
1 ounce Fontina cheese, grated
1 ounce Gorgonzola cheese, grated
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated
Crepes:
1 cup flour
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter, melted
4 teaspoons white truffle oil, to finish
Make the crepes first. Combine all ingredients. Allow to
rest for one hour. Spray a nonstick crepe pan or shallow
skillet with pan spray. Using a large ladle, pour two
ounces of batter into the pan. Roll the batter around
until it creates a perfect circle. Let cook until you
see the edges curl and the crepe slides around freely.
Then flip to quickly set the other side. Place on a
plate and continue making crepes.
Make the sauce: Heat olive oil. Add shallots and garlic.
Cook on a low temperature until translucent. Add wine
and chicken stock. Reduce by half. Add cream. Heat to a
boil. Slowly add the cheese until all is incorporated.
Reduce until slightly thick.
Make the filling: Heat a sauté pan with the butter and
olive oil. Add mushrooms, garlic and thyme. Once
mushrooms are tender, add salt. Then place a small
portion in a crepe. Roll up and set seam side down.
Heat a sauté pan again with a little olive oil. Sear
your crepe seam side down first. Then flip and toast the
other side. Place on a plate and pour fonduta sauce over
the top. Drizzle white truffle oil over the crepes and
serve.
