You Need To Try These Crepes Today

Don’t you just love easy-to-make recipes that leave room for variation and imagination? I certainly do, and this is one of my favorites!

Whether you’re looking for a quick, savory snack or a fancy dessert for your next dinner party, these crepes will do the trick. You only need a handful of very inexpensive ingredients to make these, and you can fill them up with anything and everything your loving heart desires. Salty or sweet, it’s up to you!

I believe I was in my twenties when I tried these for the first time. These should not be mistaken for pancakes! I had these in a small, family-owned restaurant and I instantly fell in love with the flavors. Since I couldn’t make up my mind, I tried one with a cream cheese and shrimp filling, and another one with fresh peaches, cinnamon and whipped cream. Oh my goodness, I was in heaven!

I didn’t think it was possible to make these at home – well, to be honest with you, I thought it would be way too difficult for my skills. But I was wrong! It’s actually super simple! If you have a skillet in your kitchen, you’re good to go!

I remember a few years back, one of my good friend’s cousins was staying over my place.  She was an exchange student and did not have a place to stay, but had to stay with girls when she found one, so as a favor to our friends, my parents took her in with us.  She shared a room with me and we had many fun late nights watching movies, painting our nails, and even trimming each other’s bangs.  She slept on an air mattress in my room and we would stay up all night chatting away.

We became instant friends and one day she told me she wanted to make me breakfast.  She said it was an easy breakfast recipe she thought I would really love.  She grabbed the ingredients she needed (which were surprisingly just two) and got straight to work.  The entire time I saw her mixing and preparing, I wondered what in the world she could possibly make with just two ingredients.  I was baffled, but after watching a little closer, I knew exactly what she was making.  My new friend had just prepared me classic European crepes and then filled them with Nutella and chopped bananas.
