This recipe is to die for... rich and elegant, completely worth the effort. I served this with stuffed artichokes and spinach salad with carmelized pecans. I substituted portabello mushrooms, added dill to the crepe batter, and added an extra cup of crab. I'm sure its fantastic either way. Thank you so much!

I AM A PIG! It was a snow day but I had no intentions of shovelling and even fewer of going to the store. I made your recipe as a concilation prize for DH who was now going to get stuck with ALL the shovelling :) The crepe mixture made seven crepes but I only stuffed (and I mean STUFFED) four of them using all of the filling. Served them with a walnut/pear & blue cheese salad and ate two!!!!...so 50% of the filling. YIKES Now neither DH or I are able to do more than waddle to the couch. The snow can wait Thanks for the recipe Dawn...it was wonderful.

this is a review of the sauce and crepe as i did not use the filling as written. i made this for a brunch and i wanted it to be lighter, so i simply added the shrimp and imitation crab to the mornay sauce. i used thyme instead of parsley as the herb and after putting the crepes and sauce together added more swiss on top. these were a huge hit. if i were making it for a dinner i would definitely use the filling as written. thanks for a great recipe. -anita

I?m ?originally from Texas, but now live in Florida. Still gotta have that spice though....love chipotle peppers, habaneros, and jalapenos. This is a picture of myself & my 2 daughters taken in Dec'06. I am working on my graduate degree, & still work as a nurse prn. When I'm not cooking and eating what I cook... I head for the gym to work out. As far as cookbooks, I love the church/ community cookbooks, where someone has dug out old handwritten recipes by granny and shared them with others-those are the best kind. If I had a month off, I'd for sure go hiking, would love to visit Australia and New Zealand.?
