Make the crêpes: Put the flour, water, eggs, melted butter, and salt into a blender. Cover and blend for 2 minutes. Chill the batter in the refrigerator for two hours.
- 2
Heat an oiled nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in enough of the chilled batter to cover half the skillet. Tilt and rotate the skillet so the batter coats the entire surface. Cook until the batter changes from wet to moist and the edges start to curl away from the sides. Flip the crêpe and cook until the other side is lightly golden. Transfer the crêpe to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep it moist. Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly oiling the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.

Prepare the filling: Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, then cook and stir the green onions until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sherry, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Stir in the crab.

Make the sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour. Add milk, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- 5
Beat the heavy cream and egg yolks together in a small bowl. Gradually add the egg mixture to the butter-flour mixture, stirring constantly. Fold in the grated cheese to make a thick sauce.
- 6
Pour the sauce into the crab meat mixture, reserving 1 cup of the sauce; stir to combine.
- 7
Lay one crêpe on a flat surface. Spoon 2 heaping spoonfuls of the crab mixture onto one end of the crêpe, then roll the crêpe around the filling. Repeat with the remaining crêpes. Top each with the reserved cheese sauce and serve.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
