How to Make Herbed Seafood Crepes With Mornay Sauce

**Make the Crepes:**
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Add 3 eggs and 1 1/4 cups milk; whisk until completely smooth.
Stir in 2 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons chopped herbs.
The batter should have the consistency of thin cream. Let it rest for 30 minutes, then stir before using.
Heat a lightly oiled crepe pan or nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the hot surface for each crepe.
Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Stack crepes on waxed paper as you make them.
Set aside until ready to use (up to 2 hours) or wrap and freeze for later.
**Make the Mornay Sauce:**
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk in 2 tablespoons flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk until smooth and thickened.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg yolk and 1/4 cup heavy cream.
Temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly whisking in a spoonful of the hot sauce. Then, pour the tempered mixture into the saucepan and whisk to combine.
Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir in 2 teaspoons each of Parmesan and Gruyere cheese.
Gently stir in 1 1/2 cups cooked seafood; heat through.
**Assemble and Bake:**
Place a crepe on a heatproof plate. Spoon some seafood and sauce down the center.
Roll up the crepe tightly and repeat with remaining crepes.
Spoon extra sauce over the crepes and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the crepe edges are lightly browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
