Hello Ashley,

The Magic Pan recipe for this is not available. They didn't originate the
dish, however, and there are other recipes available. See below for one.

Phaed
Coquilles St. Jacques Crepes

Makes 4-5 servings.

This was one of the most ordered dishes in my restaurant, The Crepe Chalet.
We made it with sea scallops (the big ones) but it can also be made with the
smaller bay scallops (which is probably more traditional). And while this
recipe calls for crepes, the coquilles can also be served in individual
scallop dishes as an appetizer or entree dish, in which case, you'd set the
dishes in the oven and bake them until the cheeses melt (I'd also topped
them with a little Parmesan cheese as well).

1/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
1 cup white mushrooms, sliced
1/2 sea scallops, cut into 1/4" to 1/2" pieces
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups light cream (or evaporated milk)
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
8-10 cooked crepes (see recipe below)
1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese

Entree Crepes:

Makes 12-14 six-inch crepes.

4 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine

Makes the crepes by combining all the ingredients except the flour in a bowl
and beating together. Gradually add the flour and whisk or beat until a
smooth batter is achieved. Drop the batter in a small fry pan or crepe pan
that has been preheated. Swirl the batter quickly as you pour it into the
pan, so it coats the pan with a very thin layer of batter. The crepe will
let go of the pan around the edges when it it time to flip it -- don't
overcook, or they'll burn. Heat the flip side only about 20 seconds. Place
on a plate between layers of wax paper until needed.

Combine the white wine, green onion, mushrooms and scallops in a non-stick
saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.

While doing this, melt the butter in a large skillet, and stir in the flour
and salt to make a roux (a caramel-colored mixture). Pour in the cream and
cook until a creamy thick sauce is achieved -- stir this constantly while
doing. Add the parsley, and then the scallop mixture.

Fill each crepe with 3-4 tablespoons of the scallop mixture (or whatever
amount will cover the center third of each crepe). Fold the other two thirds
of the crepe over the center, and sprinkle with the cheese. Place in a
preheated 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

Magic Pan Ham Crepes
Ham Crepes - Use basic crepe recipe

Filling - Make a white sauce of 4T butter - 4T flour - and 2C milk
To it add grated honey ham and approx 2C Jarlsburg swiss cheese
to make a thick filling where cheese is just melted and entire 
mixture is cooled somewhat. Do not overheat.
Fill crepes with filling and place crepes in a baking pan. Top with a little 
parmesan cheese if desired and bake in oven at 350 for 15 min or until edges 
of crepes are browned and filling is bubbly. Top with mustard sauce and devour. 
Mustard Sauce - Mostly Mayonnaise with a little yellow mustard and about as 
much sugar. That is exactly what the waiter told us when 
we asked him. It is delicious
Note - Always use a honey ham or they will be salty 
When I say grated ham - you can use a food processor. 
It should be ground very fine.
