cut then into small cubes. Reduce them over medium heat. During this
time, prepare a Béchamel sauce with the milk and the cornstarch, then
season with salt, pepper and ground nutmeg. As soon as the sauce is
ready, put in 20 g of butter. Fry the mushrooms and the shallot in strips

10 to 15 minutes. Once the mushrooms are cooked, put them into the
Béchamel sauce. Fill the crêpes with this preparation and fold them
in 4. Sprinkle with grated gruyere and brown in a medium hot oven.
