Steps:
- Place flour, water, eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a blender. Cover and blend for 2 minutes. Chill batter in refrigerator for two hours.
- Heat an oiled, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in enough of the chilled batter to cover half of the skillet. Tip and rotate the skillet until the batter covers the entire area. Cook until the batter turns from wet to moist, and the edges begin to curl away from the sides of the skillet. Turn the crepe over, and continue cooking until lightly golden on the other side. Place the crepe onto a plate, and cover with a kitchen towel to keep moist. Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly oiling the skillet as needed to keep the crepes from sticking.
- Cook and stir green onions with 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sherry, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper; stir to combine. Mix in crab.
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour. Add milk, 1/4 salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper; bring to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Beat heavy cream and egg yolks together in a small bowl. Gradually add egg mixture to butter-flour mixture, stirring constantly. Fold in grated cheese to form a thick sauce.
- Pour sauce into crab meat mixture, reserving 1 cup of the sauce; stir to combine.
- Lay out one crepe on a flat surface. Spoon 2 heaping spoonfuls of crab mixture at one end of the crepe, then roll crepe up around the filling. Repeat with remaining crepes. Top each with reserved cheese sauce and serve.

CRAB AND SHRIMP CREPES WITH MORNAY SAUCE
This is an elegant dish. The first time I made them, my husband thought I picked them up from a restaurant. Was he ever surprised! This would make a nice romantic dinner with candlelight! The recipe seems long but it includes a recipe for the filling, the Mornay Sauce, and crepes themselves.

SHRIMP-CRAB CREPES IN WINE-CHEESE SAUCE
Although many steps, this dish is really quite easy to prepare and can be made ahead. Not for the diet-conscious, but this luscious meal is well worth the extra effort and calories for a splurge or special occasion! Adapted from a Southern Living recipe collected long ago. Lobster, scallops, or fish may be substituted as some of the seafood. Serve crepes in cheese sauce individually for a lovely presentation at a brunch, luncheon or dinner party. The Shrimp Crab filling could be spooned in pre-baked mini-pastry shells for an outstanding appetizer.

- In skillet on medium-high heat, bring vermouth to a boil and cook until only 1-2 tbs remain in pan.
- Add whipping cream, Old Bay seasoning, and pepper, whisking constantly until mixture just comes to a boil.
- While whisking sauce, immediately add the Slurry; continue whisking over heat until mixture just comes to a boil.
- Boil 1 minute or until sauce thickens. Reduce heat to simmer.
- Add all the cheese, stirring constantly until sauce is smooth and creamy. Set aside while preparing crab-shrimp mixture.
- *** FILLING:.

- Add crabmeat to sauce and gently stir to mix.
- *** TO ASSEMBLE: On lower 1/3 of each crepe, place 3-4 tbs filling down that third.
- Starting with the Filling edge, roll crepe and place seam-side down in a 9x13 inch casserole, placing eight crepes (not touching) in each of two 9x13-inch casserole dishes.
- Evenly spoon remaining Wine-Cheese Sauce over each crepe. Sprinkle with a dash of ground nutmeg.
- Cover with foil and bake at 450°F about 20 minutes or until heated through.
- Place crepes on each plate and sprinkle with Spring Onion slices.
- *** MAKE-AHEAD DIRECTIONS: Assemble crepes as directed and place in casserole (not touching) as directed.
- Gently pat layer of plastic wrap over crepes. Cover with foil and refrigerate up to 2 days.
- When ready to bake, remove plastic wrap and re-cover with foil. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Bake at 450°F 20-30 minutes or until heated through.
- While crepes are heating, place chilled Wine-cheese Sauce in double boiler and slowly heat sauce, stirring frequently.
- *** TO SERVE AS A CASSEROLE: When ready to serve, remove casserole from oven.
- Evenly pour a little hot Wine-Cheese sauce over each crepe, sprinkle with nutmeg and scattered spring onions. Serve immediately.
- *** TO SERVE INDIVIDUALLY- for best presentation: Place 2 crepes on each plate, top with hot Wine-cheese Sauce, a light sprinkle of nutmeg and a few Spring onion slices. Serve immediately.
