What To Serve With It
When I make crepes, I love pairing them with sweet toppings like fresh berries, Nutella, or a dusting of powdered sugar—they turn breakfast into a treat. For savory options, I’ll stuff them with ham and cheese, sautéed mushrooms, or scrambled eggs for a satisfying meal. The best part? You can mix and match to suit your mood, whether you’re craving something indulgent or simple.
Sweet Toppings
There’s nothing quite like a warm, delicate crepe just waiting to be dressed up with something sweet—whether you’re craving classic simplicity or a bold flavor twist, I’ve got you covered. Start with a dusting of powdered sugar, or drizzle warm maple syrup for that cozy breakfast vibe. Fresh berries add a juicy burst, while Nutella and sliced bananas make it indulgent. For a tangy kick, try lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar. Whipped cream and chocolate shavings? Yes, please! Don’t forget caramelized apples or a dollop of jam for nostalgia. The possibilities are endless, so go wild!
Savory Fillings
If you’re ready to switch things up from sweet to savory, crepes can be just as delicious with hearty fillings that make a satisfying meal. I love filling mine with scrambled eggs, cheese, and sautéed veggies for a quick breakfast-wrap vibe. For lunch, try ham, Gruyère, and a drizzle of béchamel sauce for a classic French twist. Want something lighter? Go for spinach, goat cheese, and a sprinkle of herbs. And don’t forget dinner—crepes stuffed with shredded chicken, mushrooms, and a creamy sauce are a cozy winner. Get creative—you can’t go wrong with savory combos!
