Instructions
- Mise En Place
Gather and weigh every ingredient; set out a mixing bowl, whisk, ladle, frying pan, saucepan, skillet, knife, board, tongs, and tray. · 5 min
What to look for: Ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.
- Mix Crepe Batter
Whisk 250 g wheat flour, 515 g milk, 100 g beaten egg, and 3 g salt until smooth; rest the thin savoury batter for 10 minutes. · 15 min
What to look for: Batter is pourable, smooth, and free of dry flour.
- Cook Thin Crepes
Heat a lightly oiled frying pan, ladle in batter, and cook 8 thin crepes on both sides; stack them on a tray to cool. · 20 min
What to look for: Crepes are pale golden in spots and flexible.
- Cook Cabbage Mushrooms
Soak dried porcini until pliable, simmer them until soft, and cook sauerkraut until tender; drain everything well. · 45 min
What to look for: Sauerkraut is soft, and porcini slices bend easily.
- Chop Filling Base
Chop drained sauerkraut and slice the porcini finely so the filling rolls neatly without tearing the crepes. · 5 min
What to look for: Filling pieces are short, fine, and evenly cut.
- Fry Fresh Mushrooms
Fry onion in 30 g sunflower oil until translucent, add button mushrooms, and cook until moisture evaporates and edges lightly brown. · 12 min
What to look for: Onion is glossy, and mushrooms are browned with no pooled liquid.
- Combine The Filling
Add sauerkraut and porcini to the skillet; season with 5 g salt and black pepper, then fry briefly until cohesive. · 8 min
What to look for: Filling looks moist but not wet and holds together on the spatula.
- Roll The Croquettes
Place filling on one edge of each cooled crepe, fold in both sides, and roll firmly into compact croquettes. · 10 min
What to look for: Rolls are tight, sealed at the sides, and evenly filled.
- Bread The Rolls
Dip each roll in the remaining 50 g beaten egg, coat evenly with breadcrumbs, and press gently so the crust adheres. · 8 min
What to look for: Each roll is fully coated with an even breadcrumb layer.
- Fry Until Golden
Fry croquettes in the remaining sunflower oil, turning with tongs, until golden and crisp on all sides; drain briefly. · 12 min
What to look for: Breadcrumb coating is deep golden, crisp, and evenly fried.
- Serve Hot
Serve hot while the breadcrumb coating is crisp and the sauerkraut mushroom filling is steamy and fragrant. · 3 min
What to look for: Croquettes are crisp outside and hot inside.

Ingredient substitutions
Dried porcini mushroom
- Button mushroom: Use only if porcini are unavailable; the filling will lose much of its forest aroma.
Button mushroom
- Dried porcini mushroom: Use sparingly and soak before cooking; the flavour becomes much more intense.
Breadcrumb
- Wheat flour: Only if breadcrumbs are unavailable; the coating will be thinner and less crisp.
