6 tablespoons lobster butter, recipe follows
Grated Swiss cheese, to taste
1 1-pound lobster, steamed
6 ounces unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Make the crepes: In a bowl place the flour, whisk in the milk and water, a little at a time. Mix in the eggs, the salt and butter and continue to whisk until smooth. Let stand, covered, 30 minutes. Heat a crepe pan over moderate heat until very hot, brush with melted butter. Add 1/4 cup of batter to center of pan. Tilt pan in all directions, pouring out excess batter into bowl. Cook 30 seconds, or until golden brown. Turn and cook 20 to 30 seconds more. Invert crepe onto plate. Continue to make crepes in the same manner.
  • Make the filling: In a skillet, set over moderate heat, melt the butter and cook the shallots until softened. Add the shellfish and cook for 2 minutes. Add the wine and Madeira, simmer, covered, 1 minute. Uncover, increase heat to high and reduce until all the liquid has been evaporated. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in chives.
  • Make the white sauce: In a saucepan set over moderately low heat, melt the butter, add the flour and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes. Add the hot milk and salt and pepper to taste, whisking. Bring the liquid to a boil, whisking, and simmer 1 minute. In a small bowl combine the egg yolk and cream. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the yolk mixture. Return to heat and cook, stirring, until very thick. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Fold in shellfish and cheese.
  • Make the lobster sauce: In a saucepan set over moderately low heat melt the butter, add the flour and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes. Add the hot lobster stock and salt and pepper to taste, whisking. Bring the liquid to a boil, whisking, and simmer until slightly thickened. Add heavy cream and 3 tablespoons of the lobster butter and simmer, whisking occasionally, for one hour. Whisk in remaining lobster butter.
  • To assemble the crepes: Arrange crepe, browned-side down, on counter. Place 1/2 cup filling in center. Fold 2 sides of crepe over mixture so that they meet in the center. Fold top and bottom sides of crepe over so that they meet in the center. Turn crepe over and transfer to a buttered flameproof baking dish. Prepare remaining crepes in the same manner. Cover the crepes with some of the lobster sauce and sprinkle with grated Swiss cheese. Put under a preheated broiler 1 to 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  • Remove meat from the lobster, and reserve. Add shells to the hot lobster stock or fish broth, and simmer for 1 hour. Remove shells, and chop into small pieces. Add shells to food processor work bowl (or blender) and add butter. Pulse 5 to 6 times. Return mixture to saucepan and melt butter again. Strain carefully and reserve lobster butter.

Lobster Champagne Sauce: Sweat the onions, carrots, celery, shallots, and garlic in a medium saucepan with clarified butter for about 5 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce by half.

Add the lobster champagne sauce and let cook for another 2 minutes. Fold in the diced tomatoes and scallions and season with salt and pepper. Mixture is ready to serve.
  • Take 2 crepes and fill with some of the mixture and roll the crepes. Place in a shallow gratin dish. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Add the remaining sauce and seafood on top of the crepes.

LOBSTER CREPES RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Lobster Crepes Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by franny-2

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb (500 g) asparagus, ends trimmed
Cooked meat of 1 large lobster, or 2 lobster tails
(about 1½ lbs/750 g lobster before cooking)
Sprinkling of salt plus ½ tsp (2 mL)
Fines Herbes Hollandaise
2 tbsp (25 mL) white wine vinegar
¼ cup (50 mL) water
3 large egg yolks
¾ cup (175 mL) unsalted butter, softened
and cubed
2 tbsp (25 mL) lemon juice
White pepper to taste
1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh tarragon, finely chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh chives, finely chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh chervil, finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1 Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). 2. In a large pot, steam or boil asparagus until just tender, about 10 minutes, cool under cold water, drain and set aside. 3. Coarsely chop cooked lobster, set aside. 4. Prepare crepes (recipe follows). 5 Divide the asparagus into 8 separate bundles. Place a bundle in each of 8 crepes, sprinkle with salt and roll to enclose. Place asparagus in a glass baking dish, top with lobster and cover with foil. Just before serving, and no sooner, place in heated oven for 15 minutes to warm through. 6. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat reduce (boil) vinegar, water and ½ tsp (2 mL) salt until approximately 3 tbsp (45 mL) remains, remove from heat. 7. Lower heat to medium-low, add yolks to pan and return to heat, whisking constantly until foamy and lightly thickened. Make sure not to scramble eggs: if the eggs begin to cook too quickly pull off of heat and whisk vigorously to cool slightly before continuing. 8. Begin to whisk butter into pan 1 cube at a time. Once all butter is incorporated, whisk in lemon juice, white pepper and fresh herbs. Use immediately. 9. Place 2 asparagus crepes on each plate and top each with some of the warmed lobster. Spoon hollandaise overtop, serve immediately. Serves 4 Crepes Use a ¼-cup (50-mL) measuring cup to pour batter into the pan. This will ensure all the crepes are the same size and is also tidier than using a ladle. 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour 3 large eggs 2 tbsp (25 mL) melted butter 1 tsp (5 mL) lemon zest, very finely grated ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt 1¼ cup (300 mL) homogenized milk Vegetable oil or melted butter to coat pan 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, butter, lemon zest and salt. Slowly incorporate milk while continually whisking so that there are no lumps and all ingredients are well combined. Let rest 1 hour. 2. Using a clean paper towel moistened with vegetable oil (or melted butter), wipe the base of an 8-inch (20-cm) nonstick crepe pan. 3. Heat pan over medium-high, pour ¼ cup (50 mL) crepe batter into pan and swirl so that it fully coats the bottom. 4. Cook on 1 side until the edges and top begin to dry, approximately 1 minute. Flip over and cook for another 20 seconds to fi nish cooking the crepe. Set aside. 5. Repeat until all crepes are cooked.

Tips:

  • To make the crepes, use a non-stick pan and a 1/4 cup measure to ensure they are all the same size.
  • When making the lobster filling, be sure to cook the lobster meat until it is just opaque, to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • If you don't have a crepe pan, you can use a regular frying pan, but be sure to grease it well before cooking the crepes.
  • To assemble the crepes, place a spoonful of the lobster filling in the center of each crepe and then fold it in half, then in half again to form a triangle.
  • Serve the crepes immediately, garnished with chopped parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Lobster crepes are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. They are relatively easy to make, but they do require some time and effort. If you are looking for a dish that will impress your guests, lobster crepes are a great option.
