Ingredients:


--- for the crespelle ---

2 whole eggs

1 cup all-purpose flour -- unbleached

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

1 1/4 tablespoons unsalted butter -- melted, plus extra

--- for the besciamella ---

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 tablespoons flour

1 cup milk

--- for the filling ---

2 stalks celery -- sliced

2 medium leeks -- white only, sliced

2 medium carrots -- sliced

1 cup mushrooms -- sliced

1 teaspoon salt and pepper

2 sprigs thyme -- minced

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

18 large shrimp -- (scampi), shelled

1/3 cup dry white wine

3 tablespoons parmigiano-reggiano cheese grated
 

Preparation / Directions:


Make 4" crespelle: Combine the eggs, flour, and a pinch of salt in a bowl; pour in the milk, beating constantly with a whisk. Add the butter. Heat a lightly buttered pan and pour in a little batter, tilting the pan to spread out the batter. Cook until golden on both sides, about 1 minute, turning once. Repeat with the remaining batter; you should have 18 crespelle. You can prepare the crespelle up to 3 days ahead. Make the besciamella: Melt the butter in a pan. Add the flour; cook over medium heat 4 minutes, stirring. Whisk in the milk; cook until boiling and thick, whisking. Make the filling: Saute the celery, leeks, carrots, mushrooms, salt, pepper, and thyme in 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the scampi and wine; when the wine evaporates, fold in the besciamella. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Butter 6 individual souffle dishes or ramekins. Fill each with 3 crespelle, layered with the scampi and topped with the Parmigiano and the remaining butter. Bake until hot and lightly browned. Serve.
