Ingredients
 

For the Crab Crepes

For Lemon Cheese Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cup milk
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 4 oz shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

For the Crab Crepes

  • Heat oven to 400°F.
  • In a small skillet, heat the butter on high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, until garlic is fragrant and onion is translucent. Transfer to a mixing bowl using a rubber spatula to get all the butter too.
  • To the mixing bowl with the onion mixture, add the remaining ingredients for the crab filling, adding the crab gently in last.
  • Fill the center of each crepe with crabmeat mixture (scant 1/4 cup each). Roll crepes up and place in a 13x9 baking dish.
  • Bake at 400˚F for 15 minutes or until heated through and edges of crepes are just a little crispy.

For Lemon Cheese Sauce

  • While the crepes are cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes.
  • Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Heat on medium-low heat, stirring constantly, ~5-10 minutes until thickened.
  • Remove from the heat. Stir in salt and cheddar until melted and smooth. Add the lemon juice.
  • Serve the Lemon Cheese Sauce drizzled over the Crab Crepes.
