Melt butter, add flour and blend. Add milk, seasoning, boil for 1 minute and remove from heat. Beat yolks and cream. Add yolks, stirring constantly. Fold in cheese, should be THICK. Add sauce to filling. Reserve enough sauce to pour over crepes. If too thick you may thin this out with cream. Put approx. 1-2 tbsp. filling on crepe, roll up and place in casserole dish seam side down. Cotinue until all filling is used. Cover with remainder of sauce. Heat through in moderate oven and serve immediately.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Great for a special dinner served with large tossed green salad and buns.

Crepes can be made into dessert crepes by using fresh or canned fruit as the filling. Cover with whipping cream, sprinkle with semi-sweet chocolate bits-DELICIOUS! If serving these for a special Sunday or Christmas brunch, serve with sausages and coffee.
