INGREDIENTS 3 tablespoons butter 3 shallots or 1/2 onion, finely chopped 1-1/2 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/2 cup chicken broth 8 thin slices of boiled ham 1/2 cup grated Swiss or Gruyere cheese 1/4 cup whipping cream 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water Sauté the onion in the butter until soft. Add the thinly sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle the mushrooms with the lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Cook the mushrooms for one minute. Add the chicken stock and cook over high heat, uncovered, for 1 more minute. Lower the heat and add the grated cheese and cream. DO NOT heat the cheese too quickly or it will spin into threads. Add the cornstarch dissolved in water and the mixture will thicken immediately. It should be thick enough to hold its shape in the rolled crepe. Add the seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste. Lay a piece of the boiled ham on each crepe. Put about 3 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture over the ham and roll the crepes. Place in a buttered ovenproof dish and dot the crepes with butter. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes and serve immediately. Makes 8 servings
