Recipe - Crab-Stuffed Crepes

CREPES
3 Egg; beaten
1 One half cup Milk
2 tablespoon Butter or margarine,melted
1 cup Flour
One half teaspoon Salt
1 cup Swiss cheese; grated

CRAB FILLING
One half cup Butter or margarine
One half cup Scallion; minced
2 pound Crabmeat, lump
Salt; to taste
White pepper; to taste
1 pn Garlic powder (opt)
One half cup Dry vermouth

SWISS CHEESE SAUCE
2/3 cup Dry vermouth
One fourth cup Cornstarch
One fourth cup Milk
4 cup Heavy cream
Salt; to taste
White pepper; to taste
1 One half cup Swiss cheese; grated

Crepes: Place eggs, milk and butter in blender; add flour and blend about
1 minute, until smooth. Refrigerate batter at least 2 hours and as long as
12 hours before making crepes. To cook crepes, pour 3 tablespoons batter
into greased, heated crepe pan or small skillet; cook until done on one
side (it is not necessary to cook crepes on both sides). To assemble
crepes, blend half the Crab Filling with the Swiss Cheese Sauce; correct
seasoning. Place a large spoonful crab mixture on each crepe and roll;
place seam side down in two buttered large rectangular glass baking dishes.
Spoon remaining crab mixture over crepes; sprinkle with grated cheese and
dot with butter. Bake uncovered in preheated 400'F. oven 20 minutes, until
hot and bubbly. This dish may be frozen or refrigerated before serving; if
chilled, remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.

Crab Filling: Melt butter in skillet; stir in green onions and crabmeat.
Mix lightly and cook a few minutes; add seasonings. Add vermouth and boil
rapidly until liquid is almost evaporated. Scrape from skillet into bowl;
reserve.

Swiss Cheese Sauce: Blend cornstarch and milk; reserve. Put vermouth in
same skillet that filling was cooked in; boil rapidly until vermouth is
reduced to 2 tablespoons. Remove from heat; stir in cornstarch and milk
mixture. Return skillet to low heat and add cream slowly, along with salt
and pepper; cook several minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in cheese
and cook until melted and wellblended; correct seasoning.

NOTE: This recipe makes enough crepes to fill two baking dishes.
