Alpine Cheese Crepes

[dougiezerts]

I'm sure a lot of you will remember the late great Magic Pan restaurant. RIP.
One of my favorite crepes there was their Alpine Cheese Crepes. It had a cheese filling with a honey mustard sauce.
Do any of you have a recipe for this? I would really love to try and recreate it. Thanks!

here you go -

Crepes

Cheese Filling
1/2 pound Cheddar Cheese -- cut into 4 long strips

Breadcrumb Coating
1 Cup Bread Crumbs
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons milk

Mustard Cream Sauce
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup half and half
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon white pepper


Place 1 strip of cheese on top of one crepe. Keep at least 1 inch from the edge.
Roll up and tuck in corners so it will not leak when frying. Do likewise with all.

Prepare breadcrumb coating: blend milk and eggs together, then place flour, egg
mixture, and crumbs in separate containers in that order in a row. Take each
pancake and cover well with flour, then egg, then roll in crumbs.

Fry in cooking oil until puffy and golden brown on all sides. Fry slowly. Serve
with mustard cream sauce.

For mustard sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; add flour and stir
until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add broth and half-and- half
gradually. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and
beginning to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in mustard, lemon juice, and
pepper. Keep warm. Arrange on a serving dish and top with sauce.

Dougie!

What do you mean - "you might try to make it"???? Do you know how many keystrokes it took for me to copy and paste this from my cookbook????? LOL

What do you expect - Mama to make them for you????

(Mama initiates Dougie to our group!)

LOL!!!

Seriously - I do hope you try them and I hope they turn out for you.

Enjoy!

Mama (just being silly again)

Yes, I do want you to make them for me, Mama!
Seriously, thanks! I've been wanting that for the last 30 years, or so.
