Where to find ingredients
All ingredients are available at local supermarkets and butcher shops. Table cream (creme de leite) can be found in the canned or long-life milk section. As a substitute for table cream, heavy cream can be used, though it will alter the consistency slightly; the mozzarella is essential for the gratin process.
Preparation method
- In a blender, beat the eggs, milk, and oil.
- Add the wheat flour gradually and mix until a smooth, creamy batter is formed.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan lightly greased with oil.
- Pour a ladle of the batter into the hot pan.
- Swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly.
- Cook until the bottom releases and flip to brown the other side.
- Set the cooked crepes aside.
- In another pan, brown the chopped onion in a drizzle of oil.
- Add the ground beef and cook until the liquid has evaporated.
- Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and let it cook for a few minutes.
- Add the diced tomato and cover again.
- Cook for 3 more minutes and stir.
- Incorporate the tomato paste and season to taste.
- Cook for another 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
- Turn off the heat and let the meat sauce cool slightly.
- Add the table cream to the meat sauce and mix well until homogeneous.
- Return to low heat for 5 minutes.
- Stuff each crepe with a slice of mozzarella and a portion of the meat sauce.
- Roll up the crepes.
- Grease a baking dish with a little of the sauce.
- Arrange the stuffed crepes in the baking dish.
- Cover the crepes with the remaining sauce.
- Sprinkle grated cheese over the top.
