Subject: Magic Pan recipe
Hi! The Magic Pan had amazing appetizers that were little round balls made
with cheese that had a floury texture - not melted cheese inside - and they
were served with a sweet mustard dipping sauce. Any help you can provide in
tracking the recipe down would be great! I know they published their own
cookbook back in the late 70's but it's out of print now.
Hi Jennifer,
Wish I had that cookbook! Is the recipe below what you mean?
Phaed

In small saucepan heat the milk and bleu
cheese over medium heat until the

The Magic Pan Chicken Crepe Elegante
Yield: 6 servings.
For crepes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
For filling:
1 cup chicken stock
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups diced cooked chicken
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
To prepare crepes: Sift flour and salt together into a large mixing bowl.
Add eggs; mix thoroughly (mixture will form a thick paste). Add milk
gradually, beating until smooth. Batter will have the consistency of heavy
cream. Cover bowl; refrigerate for 2 hours.
Brush a hot crepe pan with oil or melted butter. Pour in about 1 1/2
tablespoons of batter, depending on the size of the pan. Tip the pan to
coat it with a thin layer of batter. Cook over medium-high heat until crepe
is golden brown, about 1 minute, then turn and brown other side. Continue
cooking crepes, adding oil or butter to pan as needed.
To prepare filling: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bring stock to a boil in a
small pan. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour. Cook,
stirring for 1 minute. Gradually add stock. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring
over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from
heat. Stir in chicken, salt, pepper, parsley and chives.
Beat egg yolks and half-and-half in a small mixing bowl. Add a little of
the hot sauce; mix well. Stir egg mixture into remaining hot sauce in pan.
Put a portion of the mixture in the center of each crepe. Roll up crepes.
Place in a buttered oven-to-table baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake
10 to 15 minutes. Serve at once.

Dear Uncle Phaedrus -
How delighted I was to find the Chicken Elegante recipe ! I used to love that
dish and my husband would drive us an hour to the Magic Pan for a special meal.
I am excited to try the recipe you have provided. However, I wonder if I could
ask you for additional cooking advice. What I remember most was the tenderness
of the chicken in the sauce but there is no discussion of how the "cooked chicken"
was prepared. Any advice for that ?
Chunks of tender cooked chicken would be so handy for many many recipes - if I
could get that technique down somehow !
Thanks much for your help,
Sandy
Hi Sandy,
Sorry, I’m not a cook myself, just a recipe finder. I wouldn’t have any idea of how to advise you.
