Ingredients
Instructions
- In a skillet, sauté mushrooms, imitation crab meat, and broccoli with salt and pepper in margarine or butter.
- Place the cooked mixture in the center of each flour tortilla.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the filling.
- Roll up each tortilla with the filling inside.
- Arrange the filled tortillas in an oblong baking pan.
- Spread cream of mushroom soup over all the tortillas (sour cream may be added to the soup for a creamier texture).
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until heated through and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating fresh herbs like dill or parsley into the filling. If you prefer a lighter option, swap the cream of mushroom soup for a homemade white sauce or a lighter cream soup. You can also experiment with different cheeses; feta or cheddar can provide a distinct twist. For a fun variation, try making 'Crab Meat Cakes' as a side dish.
Serving Suggestions
These seafood crepes make a delightful main dish, perfect for a family dinner. Serve them with a light green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. A side of garlic bread complements the dish nicely, and a glass of white wine enhances the flavors. For a creative twist, consider pairing with 'Angie'S Shrimp Dip' as an appetizer.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the crepes in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F and cover the crepes with foil to prevent drying out. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual servings for a quick meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use real crab meat instead of imitation crab meat?
Absolutely! Using real crab meat will elevate the dish's flavor. Just make sure to adjust the quantity as real crab has a different texture and moisture content than imitation crab. You may need to add a bit more seasoning to enhance the taste.
What can I use instead of cream of mushroom soup?
You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a homemade white sauce or a cream of chicken soup for a different flavor. If you want a lighter option, a vegetable broth-based soup can work too. Just adjust the seasoning to match your preference.
Can I freeze the crepes for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled crepes before baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. When ready to cook, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.
