# How to Make It:
01 -
Place dried mushrooms in a bowl and cover with warm water. Allow to soak for 30 minutes, then drain and finely chop.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot, sauté until softened. Stir in the soaked and fresh mushrooms, cook until moisture evaporates. Add sauerkraut, bay leaf, and allspice berries, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove bay leaf and allspice before use.
03 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth. Rest for 10 minutes.
04 -
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. Pour a small amount of batter, swirl to coat. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Repeat until all batter is used. Cool on a plate.
05 -
Spoon a generous line of mushroom-sauerkraut filling across the lower third of each crêpe. Fold sides inward and roll tightly into cylinders.
06 -
Beat eggs in a shallow dish. Place breadcrumbs in another dish. Dip each filled crêpe first in beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs, ensuring even coating.
07 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown and crisp on all sides. Drain briefly on paper towels and serve hot.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Ensure the filling is well-drained to avoid soggy croquettes and achieve a crisp finish.
