- 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.
