Creamy Scallop Crepes Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 egg whites
• 1 egg
• 1-1/2 cups fat-free milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 
  FILLING:
• 1 pound bay scallops
• 1/2 cup white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
• 4 green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup fat-free evaporated milk
• 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese

Directions

• In a small bowl, beat the egg whites, egg and milk. Combine flour and salt; add to milk mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Coat an 8-in. nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat. Stir crepe batter; pour 2 tablespoons into center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, coating skillet with cooking spray as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.
• In a large nonstick skillet, bring the scallops, wine or broth and pepper to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 3-4 minutes or until scallops are firm and opaque. Drain, reserving cooking liquid; set liquid and scallops aside.
• In the same skillet, saute mushrooms and onions in butter until almost tender. Sprinkle with flour; stir until blended. Gradually stir in evaporated milk and reserved cooking liquid. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in cheese and scallops.
• Spread 1/3 cup filling down the center of each crepe; roll up and place in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 6 servings.
