Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp of butter, divided
• 1 tbsp of olive oil

Soak porcini mushrooms in hot water for 20 minutes. Drain and reserve steeping liquid. Coarsely chop mushrooms. Set aside.

Melt butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and sauté until softened and translucent, about 1 minute. Add cremini and sauté until golden brown (about 5 minutes). Add wine, broth, reserved mushroom liquid and seasonings. Reduce temperature to low and add porcini. Stir together and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in cream and remaining butter and simmer for an additional minute. Serve immediately over warm crepes or use as a crepe filling.
