My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I used a sweet onion and Chardonnay instead of what was recommended. I served it over a bed of arugula.

I scaled back for 4 serves using one egg but found the mix was too thick and my first crepe was more like a pancake so thinned down with some more milk and ended up with 14 very nice crepes of which I used 8 and the other 4 will be served as dessert with fresh fruit and cream. For the seafood I used prawns/shrimp, scallops, mussel meat and cobia/fish and had a cup of mix left over which went really well as toasted sandwiches for lunch (so far a dessert, lunch and dinner from 1 recipe :lol: ), would also like to serve the seafood mix in voule-e-vent cases with a sprinkle of cheese on top. Thank you pammy owl. made for Make My Recipe - Re-union edition. Saw this recipe offered in Please Review My Recipe and just had to post I have since used the seafood filling in voule-e-vents and it was delicious and looked very elegant.

Used a combination of shrimp and lobster meat for this. I also used a small bit more milk to these. To be honest, I hardly make seafood recipes, though this was a DELIGHT. They turned out perfect, and was a nice enjoyable treat for dinner tonight. The flavor was nice, saying that we hardly have seafood, but we definately enjoyed it. I also ended up with the 16 crepes as posted. It also made for a nice quick go to recipe, after an after-school event late this afternoon. Pammy, you especially made 2 kids happy with this. Very enjoyable. Made for Best of 2012.

Someone mentioned thinning the batter. I will do that the next time...just a bit. I was able to make #11, 6" crepes. None ended up being test crepes. I intend to stack them with a combo of shrimp, mushrooms, and Thai curried scallops. My cheese blend includes some herbs and lemon. I will layer in a spring form pan and serve with asparagus and an Asian inspired cucumber salad.

I have a Farmers Market stand where I sell breads and sweets. I am really enjouing my stand, as I get to make all kinds of breads, although the sweets are the big attraction! I am married to theworlds  most wonderful man, have an aan amazingly  brilliant child (of course I would say that!).  In short, I am a verry happy, cheerful woman. Baking bread is my passion, but I love to cook anything.  I have two great dogs, Jack and Lucy, a black lab and a boxer/pitbull mix, respectively. My rating system; 5 stars= great, had fun making it and will make again 4= made some changes as the recipe needed tweaking 3= probably will not make again I will not post a 2 or 1 star rating, I'd rather post the review with no stars and share some possible fixes:)
