Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 1/2 packet of mixed grains or 50 g (2 oz.) breadcruimbs
- 4 eggs
- 30 g (1 oz.) grated Gruyere
- 600 g (1 lb. 5 oz.) spinach
- 3 onions
- 100 g (3 1/2 oz.) butter
- 4 Tbsp. cream
- 60 g (2 oz.) hazelnuts
- 60 g (2 oz.) raisins
- grated nutmeg
- salt and pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F). Line a baking tray with a sheet of parchment.
- Wash the spinach quickly in several changes of water. Dry with paper towel or a kitchen towel. Wilt the spinach in 20 g (4 tsp.) butter for 5 minutes in a saucepan.
- Peel and chop the onion. Coarsely chop the hazelnuts.
- Prepare the mixed grains according to package directions (or use breadcrumbs).
- Beat the eggs, then add the grains and Gruyere.
- Form the mixture into 12 thin galettes on the parchment-lined pan. You could use a rectangular mold to get the authentic mille feuille shape, if you wish.
- Sprinkle four of the pieces with a little grated Gruyere. Bake for 10 minutes.
- In a sauté pan, sauté the onion in 20 g (4 tsp.) butter without browning.
- Add the spinach, cream, hazelnuts and raisins. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg.
- Mix gently. Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes to dry the mixture.
- Assemble the mille feuilles just before serving. Place one galette on a plate, cover with spinach, repeat with another galette and another layer of spinach and top with the Gruyere galette.
- Brown under the broiler.
- Serve with a salad.
