Ingredients

1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups (300 ml) milk
2 tbsp melted butter
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

For the Chicken & Mushroom Filling

2 cups (300 g) cooked chicken breast, shredded or finely chopped
8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, finely sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 small yellow onion, finely diced
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Creamy Cheese Sauce

3/4 cup (180 ml) heavy cream
1/2 cup (50 g) shredded mozzarella
1/3 cup (35 g) grated Parmesan
2 oz (55 g) cream cheese, softened
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 cup (50 g) shredded mozzarella

How to Make It

1. Make the Crepe Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and chopped parsley until the batter is smooth and free of large lumps. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before cooking.

2. Cook the Crepes

Heat a lightly buttered non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and quickly swirl the skillet to create a thin, even crepe.

Cook for 1–2 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the surface is mostly set. Flip carefully and cook for another 30–45 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. You should have approximately 6–8 crepes.

3. Cook the Mushrooms

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and lightly browned.

4. Add the Chicken and Seasonings

Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring until fragrant.

Add the cooked chicken and stir everything together. Continue cooking until the chicken is heated through and well combined with the mushrooms and seasonings.

5. Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the heavy cream and softened cream cheese to the skillet. Stir gently until the cream cheese melts into the mixture and creates a smooth, creamy sauce.

6. Add the Cheese

Stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cheese melts and the filling becomes creamy and thick. Remove the skillet from the heat.

7. Fill the Crepes

Place one crepe on a clean, flat surface. Spoon a generous portion of the creamy chicken and mushroom filling onto one side of the crepe, leaving a small border around the edges.

8. Form the Crepe Cone

Fold the crepe slightly around the filling, then roll it diagonally into a cone shape. Make sure the filling stays inside the crepe as you roll.

Place the finished crepe cone seam-side down on a lightly greased baking tray. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.

9. Add the Cheese Topping

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the tops of the crepe cones. The cheese will melt over the edges during baking and create a golden, savoury topping.

10. Bake

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the filled crepe cones for 8–12 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and lightly golden.

11. Garnish

Remove the crepe cones from the oven and sprinkle them with freshly chopped parsley. Add a small amount of red pepper flakes if you would like a little extra flavour and gentle heat.

12. Serve

Serve warm while the crepes are tender, the chicken and mushroom filling is creamy, and the cheese topping is melted and golden. Arrange the cones on a serving platter for an attractive presentation.

Why This Recipe Works

This recipe combines several comforting textures in one dish. The homemade crepes are soft and delicate, while the chicken and mushrooms provide a savoury, hearty filling.

The creamy sauce made with heavy cream, cream cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan gives the filling a rich texture and plenty of cheesy flavour. Garlic, thyme, Italian seasoning, and fresh parsley add freshness and depth without overpowering the chicken and mushrooms.

Rolling the crepes into cones also makes the dish more visually interesting. Once topped with extra cheese and baked, the edges become lightly golden while the centre stays creamy and tender.

Tips for the Best Chicken and Mushroom Crepe Cones

Let the batter rest: Allowing the crepe batter to rest for about 10 minutes helps produce smoother, more tender crepes.
Keep the crepes thin: Swirl the batter quickly around the skillet so the crepes remain flexible enough to roll.
Brown the mushrooms well: Let the mushrooms cook until lightly golden to develop deeper savoury flavour.
Don’t overfill the crepes: A generous but manageable amount of filling makes the cones easier to shape.
Use softened cream cheese: Soft cream cheese melts more easily into the sauce.
Watch the final bake: The crepes are already cooked, so the short baking time is mainly to heat the filling and melt the topping.
Serve warm: The creamy filling and melted cheese are at their best when served shortly after baking.

Serving Suggestions

These cheesy chicken and mushroom crepe cones make a satisfying main dish served with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.

For a complete meal, pair them with steamed broccoli, roasted carrots, a fresh cucumber salad, or lightly dressed mixed greens. A little extra fresh parsley or lemon zest can also add a bright finishing touch.

Because the cones are individually portioned, they can also work beautifully for a casual family dinner, brunch, or special gathering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the crepes ahead of time?

Yes. The crepes can be prepared ahead of time and stored covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the dish. Bring them out when you’re ready to fill and roll them.

Can I use leftover cooked chicken?

Absolutely. Shredded or finely chopped leftover roasted chicken, grilled chicken, or poached chicken can all work well in this recipe.

Can I use different mushrooms?

Yes. White button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, or a combination of your favourite mushrooms can be used. Slice them fairly thinly so they cook evenly.

Can I substitute the chicken?

You can replace the chicken with cooked turkey for a similar texture. For a vegetarian variation, increase the mushrooms and add cooked spinach or another favourite vegetable.

Can I use another cheese?

Yes. Gruyère, provolone, or mild cheddar can be used alongside or instead of some of the mozzarella. Parmesan adds a savoury finish, so keeping a little in the recipe is recommended.

How do I stop the crepe cones from opening?

Place each filled cone seam-side down on the baking tray before adding the cheese topping. This helps keep the shape secure while baking.

How should I store leftovers?

Allow the crepe cones to cool, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in the oven until warmed through.
