Why does the socca batter need to rest for two hours?

Resting the chickpea flour batter allows the flour to fully hydrate, resulting in a smoother consistency and a more tender, flavorful socca crepe.

Can I use different types of mushrooms for this recipe?

Yes, while bluefoot mushrooms are suggested, you can substitute with other wild mushrooms like shiitake or trumpet mushrooms, as noted in the ingredients.

Is a cast iron skillet essential for making the socca?

A preheated 9-inch cast iron skillet helps achieve a crispy exterior and even cooking for the socca crepe, but a heavy oven-safe pan could also work.

What are some good garnishes for this Thyme Socca?

The recipe suggests garnishing with parsley or other fresh herbs, which would complement the thyme and mushroom flavors beautifully.

Can I prepare the socca ahead of time?

The socca batter requires at least two hours of resting, so you can prepare it in advance. Once baked, the crepe is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored covered in the fridge.
