Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
4 tablespoons melted butter, divided
1 tablespoon butter
6 ounces medium shrimp - peeled, deveined, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 ounces bay scallops
1 teaspoon butter
1 cup sliced mushrooms
½ cup thinly sliced green onions
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, or more as needed
1 cup chicken broth
⅓ cup grated Swiss cheese
¼ cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon sherry
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine milk, flour, eggs, and melted butter in a blender. Process until smooth, for at least 1 minute. Set aside and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Coat a crepe pan or nonstick small skillet with melted butter. Pour in 1/4 cup crepe batter and swirl the pan until entire bottom is covered in a thin layer of batter. Cook until small brown spots appear on the bottom of the crepe, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Loosen crepe carefully from the pan using a spatula and gently flip to brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Slide crepe onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, re-buttering the pan as needed and stacking crepes onto the plate.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and scallops and cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and scallops are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from skillet.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in the same skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms and green onions; saute until mushrooms are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Whisk in flour until mixture becomes paste-like and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add milk and chicken broth and whisk until sauce is smooth and thickened. Thin out with more milk if needed.
  • Add Swiss cheese, wine, and sherry to the sauce; stir until cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve 2/3 cup sauce. Add shrimp, scallops, mushrooms, and onions to the remaining 1/3 of the sauce and stir until heated through.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling across the lower third of each crepe. Roll crepes up jellyroll-style and serve at the table with the reserved sauce.

Grated Swiss cheese, to taste
1 1-pound lobster, steamed
6 ounces unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Make the crepes: In a bowl place the flour, whisk in the milk and water, a little at a time. Mix in the eggs, the salt and butter and continue to whisk until smooth. Let stand, covered, 30 minutes. Heat a crepe pan over moderate heat until very hot, brush with melted butter. Add 1/4 cup of batter to center of pan. Tilt pan in all directions, pouring out excess batter into bowl. Cook 30 seconds, or until golden brown. Turn and cook 20 to 30 seconds more. Invert crepe onto plate. Continue to make crepes in the same manner.
  • Make the filling: In a skillet, set over moderate heat, melt the butter and cook the shallots until softened. Add the shellfish and cook for 2 minutes. Add the wine and Madeira, simmer, covered, 1 minute. Uncover, increase heat to high and reduce until all the liquid has been evaporated. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in chives.
  • Make the white sauce: In a saucepan set over moderately low heat, melt the butter, add the flour and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes. Add the hot milk and salt and pepper to taste, whisking. Bring the liquid to a boil, whisking, and simmer 1 minute. In a small bowl combine the egg yolk and cream. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the yolk mixture. Return to heat and cook, stirring, until very thick. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Fold in shellfish and cheese.
  • Make the lobster sauce: In a saucepan set over moderately low heat melt the butter, add the flour and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes. Add the hot lobster stock and salt and pepper to taste, whisking. Bring the liquid to a boil, whisking, and simmer until slightly thickened. Add heavy cream and 3 tablespoons of the lobster butter and simmer, whisking occasionally, for one hour. Whisk in remaining lobster butter.
  • To assemble the crepes: Arrange crepe, browned-side down, on counter. Place 1/2 cup filling in center. Fold 2 sides of crepe over mixture so that they meet in the center. Fold top and bottom sides of crepe over so that they meet in the center. Turn crepe over and transfer to a buttered flameproof baking dish. Prepare remaining crepes in the same manner. Cover the crepes with some of the lobster sauce and sprinkle with grated Swiss cheese. Put under a preheated broiler 1 to 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Tips:

  • To ensure your crepes are cooked evenly, make sure your pan is hot enough before adding the batter. If the pan is not hot enough, the crepes will stick and become difficult to flip.
  • When flipping the crepes, use a thin, flexible spatula to avoid tearing the delicate batter.
  • If you are not comfortable flipping crepes in a pan, you can also cook them in a crepe maker.
  • For the filling, be sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish.
  • If you are using frozen scallops, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • To prevent the scallops from becoming tough, do not overcook them. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and firm.
  • Serve the crepes immediately after they are filled. This will ensure that they are warm and delicious.

Crepes are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be filled with a variety of ingredients, making them a great option for any occasion.
