Ingredients

  • 8 oz Brie Cheese (rind removed, cut into small cubes)
  • 0.75 cup Onions (thinly sliced and lightly caramelized)
  • 1 cup Ham (roughly chopped, cooked deli ham)
  • 4 pieces Pre‑made Crepe Shells (store‑bought, thawed if frozen)
  • 2 cup Baby Leaf Spinach (washed and dried)
  • 1 cup Crimini Mushrooms (sliced, used raw)
  • 1 cup Grape Tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Tarragon (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon White Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Truffle Oil (high‑quality truffle oil, drizzle)
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Make Filling

    Remove the rind from the brie, cut into small cubes, then combine the brie, 3/4 cup lightly caramelized onions, and 1 cup rough‑chopped ham in a mixing bowl. Gently stir until evenly distributed.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Stuff Crepes

    Lay a pre‑made crepe shell on a flat surface. Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of the filling into the center, fold the sides in, then fold the bottom over the top to seal.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Warm Crepes on Griddle

    Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat (≈350°F). Lightly oil the surface, place the stuffed crepes seam‑side down and cook 2 minutes per side, just until the crepe is warmed and the filling starts to melt.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 350°F

  4. Make Truffle Spinach Salad

    In a large bowl combine 2 cups baby spinach, 1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms, 1 cup halved grape tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon. In a small bowl whisk together 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon truffle oil, salt and pepper. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss gently.

    Time: PT5M

  5. Plate Dish

    Place a mound of dressed salad in the center of a plate. Lay two warmed stuffed crepes on top of the salad. Optionally drizzle a tiny extra splash of truffle oil and serve immediately.

Critical Success Points

  • Mix the brie, onions, and ham thoroughly without overheating the cheese.
  • Do not overfill the crepes to avoid tearing.
  • Sear the stuffed crepes only until warmed; overcooking dries the filling.
  • Dress the salad just before plating to keep greens crisp.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot skillet and oil with care to avoid burns.
  • Ensure ham reaches an internal temperature of 165°F if using pre‑cooked leftovers.
  • Truffle oil is potent; use sparingly to avoid overpowering the dish.
