Method Prep:30min › Cook:1hr › Ready in:1hr30min
Beat eggs with mayonnaise, then add grated cheese and flour; mix well. Divide batter into two equal parts.
Gently cook the grated carrot in the oil over medium heat till softened, about 5 minutes. Add to one portion of batter, then add the dill to the other portion.
Preheat a non-stick or well seasoned cast-iron frying pan over medium-low heat. Pour in 2 tablespoons of batter. Spread by rotating the pan in a circular motion. Flip when edges are crispy. Remove when browned and dry on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter. You will end up with a stack of dill crêpes and a stack of carrot crêpes.
For the filling: fry onion in a bit of oil over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, or till softened. Add chopped mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes, until liquid evaporates. Remove from heat and season to taste.
Blend cream cheese and mayonnaise, then add garlic, dill, salt and pepper.
Assemble the crêpe cake: start with a dill crêpe, spread it with cream cheese mixture, add a layer of mushrooms. Top with a carrot crêpe, spread with cream cheese mixture and top with chicken. Repeat layers until all crêpes are used up.
Decorate crêpe cake with thinly sliced cucumber. Cover and chill until serving.
