Description

Seafood crepes filled with a creamy béchamel sauce and topped with Swiss cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 cups milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 6 medium mushrooms, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons green onions, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 1/2 cups cooked seafood (lobster, crab, scallops, shrimp), chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/3 cup half-and-half
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice or seafood/chicken broth
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the milk, eggs, and melted butter, then blend until smooth.
  3. Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with butter.
  4. Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat evenly.
  5. Cook until the top looks dry and the bottom is lightly browned, then flip and cook the other side.
  6. Stack finished crepes on a plate, placing wax paper between each crepe if stacking.
  7. Sauté the mushrooms and green onions in butter until tender.
  8. Add the seafood, cream cheese, half-and-half, parsley, and lemon juice or broth.
  9. Stir over medium heat until the cream cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  10. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  11. Place about 1/4 cup of the filling onto each crepe, roll them up, and arrange seam-side down in a baking dish.
  12. Sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese over the top.
  13. Bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crepes are heated through.

Notes

  • Make sure to use cooked seafood for the filling.
  • Feel free to use a mix of seafood based on your preference.
  • Stacking crepes with wax paper prevents them from sticking together.
