Preparation
For the crepes, combine both flours, eggs, milk, olive oil, and salt in a work bowl and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before using.
For the butternut puree, combine butternut squash, cream, and milk in a medium sauce pot. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes or until squash is very tender.
While the squash is simmering, cook the crepes. Heat a crepe pan or 6-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or wipe with an oiled paper towel.
Add ¼ cup of batter to the pan and swirl to coat the bottom. When the crepe is set, about 15–20 seconds, run a rubber spatula around the edge to release the crepe, then flip it over to cook the other side for 5–10 seconds. Plate finished crepe and repeat with remaining batter. Crepes can be stacked on top of each other without sticking.
For the butternut puree, strain butternut squash and discard the cream mixture. Place squash in a blender and puree on high until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
For the mushroom ragout, melt butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat, then add leeks and sauté for 5–7 minutes, until wilted. Add the mushrooms and sage and sauté for 7–9 minutes, until all of the liquid released from the mushrooms has evaporated. Season with lemon zest and salt, then remove from heat. Fold in the crème fraîche and chopped chives.
To assemble crepes, place 2–3 ounces of butternut puree on a crepe and spread to 1 inch from the edge. Roll the crepe and place on a serving plate. Top with mushroom ragout and whole chives.
Toss arugula with olive oil and salt and serve with the crepes.
