Julia Child's Gateaux de Crepes.

Rosie is making the custard sauce for the gateaux: 1 stick of cream cheese, 6 aigs, 1 cup milk, and some freshly ground nutmeg.

The custard sauce is ready, as are the carrots, the broccoli, the mushroom duxelles, the crepes, and the Swiss cheese.

Time to start assembly. Buttered wax paper on bottom. Crepe on bottom. Then start hanging crepes over. Eight of 'em.

First layer is Swiss cheese and carrots.








Pour in the custard sauce.




















Then, top the carrot/custard mixture with another crepe and add the mushroom duxelles in.

Pour more custard over the shrooms, then place another crepe on top, then more cheese, broccoli, and custard sauce.

More Swiss cheese on top of the broccoli layer, then pull the over-hanging crepes over top. Top with more crepes. Cover with buttered wax paper and foil, then cook. Why is my hand that horrendous color?

Here's the gateaux of crepes. It's exploding over top of the dish.

Let set for 10-15 minutes then invert.

Here's the inverted Gateaux of Crepes.

Ta dahhhhh!!!!!!!


Just wait until I slice it.

Ahhhh. Here's the slice. Broccoli, mushroom, carrot, with Swiss cheese and a custard sauce.

I must say, This is DELICIOUS!.

This is, hands down, one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE dishes.
