How to make crepes

In a bowl add milk and eggs. Whisk well. Then add the flour, salt, and spices. Mix well. The batter should be slightly thick but not nearly as thick as a pancake batter. In a small saute pan (9") add a little butter or spray on medium high heat.
Add one 2-3oz ladle of batter in the center of the pan and then twirl the pan in a clockwise motion to distribute the batter evenly throughout the pan. Let it cook for 30 seconds until golden brown and then flip it over. Cook for 5-10 seconds and then place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Continue the process until all the crepes are cooked.

How to make gribiche

Place hard boiled yolks, yolk, mustard, and pickle juice in a blender. Puree until smooth, while running add in a smooth, slow, steady stream of oil until the sauce emulsifies. Season with salt and pepper. Then fold in the herbs and adjust seasoning with more pickle juice or salt if need be. Set aside for later.

To finish

Take a crepe and spread a thin layer of cream cheese on half of the crepe. Add a little lemon zest and caper to the cream cheese. Then add 2-3 oz. of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese. Then roll the crepe up into a tight roll.
Cut the ends off in an angle (bias) and cut appetizer size pieces so that they all look about the same length. Continue the process with the remaining crepes.
When your ready to serve add some gribiche on top of each slice of crepe and to the plate if desired. Top with caviar and dill. Serve and enjoy!
