 16  Warm, unsweetened 8-inch crêpes (previously prepared)

  2. Add lobster meat.
  3. Add whipping cream, cream cheese, 4 oz goat cheese, cardamom and parsley in the pan, over low-to-medium heat, until the cheese has melted and mixture thickens.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside.

  6. Plating: Place two crêpes per plate, top with a bit of crumbled goat cheese, extra seafood mixture. Garnish with chopped green onion.
