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.

SEAFOOD CREPES
Steps:
- For the crepes:
- Place the flour and sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and butter. Heat a nonstick pan or crepe pan over moderate heat. Brush the pan lightly with butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the center of the hot pan and tilt it in all directions. The batter should coat the pan in a light covering. After about 30 seconds, the bottom side of the crepe should be lightly browned and the crepe should be ready to be flipped. Shake the pan in order to release the crepe, then turn it by using a spatula or the flip of your wrist. Cook the crepe for an additional 15 to 20 seconds and turn it out onto a plate. Repeat this process with the remainder of the crepe batter. Use a round 4-inch cookie cutter to cut the crepes into hors d' oeuvre sizes.
- For the filling:
- In a small saucepot, bring the white wine to a boil and reduce by half. Add the cream and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch together with the cold water and whisk it into the cream and wine mixture until thickened. Let cool. In a large mixing bowl, place the crab, shrimp, and chopped egg and toss together lightly. Fold in the thickened cream mixture and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the parsley.
- To assemble:
- Place a heaping tablespoon of the seafood filling in the upper left hand side of a crepe. Fold the crepe in half and then fold it in half again. Continue this process until all the crepes are filled, or all the filling is used. Serve the crepes at room temperature placed inside folded doilies.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Seafood: Whenever possible, use fresh seafood for the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen seafood, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- Don't Overcook the Seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your crepe filling. Some good options include spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and zucchini.
- Season the Filling Generously: Don't be afraid to season the filling generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the seafood and vegetables.
- Use a Good Quality Crepe Batter: The crepe batter is just as important as the filling. Make sure you use a good quality recipe that will produce thin, tender crepes.
- Cook the Crepes Properly: Crepes are delicate, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them just until they are set and then flip them over. Cook for another minute or two until the other side is set.
- Serve the Crepes Immediately: Crepes are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to keep them warm and tender.
