Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Crepe Batter

Mix *milk*, *water*, *egg*, *flour*, and *salt/sugar* in a bowl until smooth. Optionally, add a splash of *truffle oil* for extra aroma. The batter should be lump-free and slightly runny.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour a ladle of batter, swirling to cover the base. *Cook each side* for about one minute until golden. Repeat until the batter is finished.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine *cream cheese* with *finely chopped herbs* and *diced cucumber*. Mix well until well blended to create a fresh, zesty filling.

Slice the *salmon* thinly. Set aside more delicate pieces for the top.

Step 3

Assemble the Crepe Cake

Start with a *crepe* as the base, spread a layer of *herbed cream cheese*, then layer with *sliced salmon*. Continue this layering process until components are used up.

Finish with a top crepe layer. *Garnish the top* with a dollop of *red caviar* and sprigs of herbs for decoration. Serve this savory delight at your New Year's celebration for an impressive and tasty treat.

Servings

For those looking to dress up their tables this holiday season, this crepe cake shines not only as a main dish but as part of a diverse spread. **Pair it with a light, crisp salad**, perhaps featuring arugula, lemon vinaigrette, and shaved Parmesan, for a refreshing contrast. 🥗

Feeling daring? How about dolloping crème fraîche on each slice, or sprinkling some fresh dill to enhance its flavors? If children are part of your celebration, serve the cake with a **side of mini roasted vegetables**—it’s a delightful way of sneaking in extra nutrients without compromising on taste. 🌱

For presentation, garnish your cake with strands of finely sliced chives and extra caviar for that luxurious feel, making these the **symbols of finesse and festive opulence**! And hey, don’t forget to pop open a bottle of something bubbly. 🥂

Serving Platter

Presents your crepe cake beautifully. Opt for one that’s large enough to fit the whole cake and is easy to pass around the table.

Variations

If you're catering to a more diverse dietary audience, these variations will surely come in handy. **Gluten-free crepe lovers**, rejoice! Use a mix of buckwheat flour and gluten-free all-purpose flour to create a compelling base that rivals the traditional version. 🌾

**For a vegan adaptation**, substitute regular milk with almond or oat milk, and use a vegan cream cheese option paired with sliced avocado and smoked carrot for that umami depth reminiscent of the salmon and caviar combo. Don't forget to sprinkle some nutritional yeast or capers to enhance those flavors! 🌱🌼

Faq

  • Why are my crepes sticking to the pan? 🐣

    Ensure your pan is properly heated before adding the batter, and that there’s enough oil or butter to coat the bottom.

  • How do I make my crepes thin and even?

    Use a ladle to pour the batter in a circular motion, tilting the pan immediately to spread it evenly across the surface.

  • Can I prepare the crepes ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make the crepes a day in advance and store them in the fridge. Just layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  • What's the best way to slice the cake?

    Use a sharp knife and slice with a gentle sawing motion to ensure clean, precise cuts.

  • How can I enhance the flavor of the salmon?

    Consider briefly marinating it in a mix of dill, lemon juice, and olive oil before slicing it for the cake.

  • What's the key to a professional presentation? 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

    The key lies in uniform crepe layers and an evenly-distributed filling. Take your time during assembly, and garnish with fresh herbs and roe for a polished look.
