Sorry the title is so cheesy. I mean, not really, but you know. Crepes are just so fun and easy to make and tasty! I never really thought to make them at home, but my friend Noelle wanted to cook and suggested we make dessert crepes.
We made a batch of 5 crepes and decided to stuff them with whipped cream and fruit. Twas divine… the perfect light n’ healthy dessert.
The next day, I had one lonely little crepe left over. So I decided to make a savory crepe with chicken, parmesan, cheddar, garlic, shallots, and mushrooms! Served up with green bean fries and my special fry sauce.
Mix it all together and stick in the freezer for a few minutes until chilled. Pour a blob onto a hot non-stick pan and swirl around until a thin layer covers the bottom. Cook for about a minute until the edges are lightly browned and use a spatula to flip. Cook for about 30 more seconds and remove. Repeat until the batter is gone!
For a dessert crepe: Stuff with whipped cream, bananas, strawberries, coconut, peanut butter, black berries, nutella, pumpkin butter, nuts, whateva!
For my savory crepe: Fill with sauteed shallots, garlic, mushrooms, and chicken and top with cheese. Microwave for 20 seconds, or until cheese is melted.
The green bean fries were inspired by How Sweet Eats but the fry sauce was inspired by In-n-Out. Who doesn’t love that crack sauce??
Bloggers: Are you going to the Foodbuzz Fest in SF???
The crepes look amazing. Why aren’t you opening a restaurant??? You could serve mainly muffins… but everything would be amazing. Seriously, just consider it.
The foodbuzz fest is a week before my birthday! I have to go! Since we’re so close we hhhhhhaaave to go. When do tickets go on sale??
How delicious looking! And I wish I was going to Food Buzz in San Fran.
That is the prettiest homemade crepe I have ever seen, Lauren!
Beautiful crepes, I love the title – and I’m the QUEEN of cheesy titles 😉 so no worries!
OMGADDD. YES I NEED A BREAK + A CREPE (SEVERAL) PLEASE. Your crepe with whipped cream & fruit looks SO GOOD. I wanted to pull it out of my monitor and nom on it.
And nope, I’m not going to foodbuzz but I wish I was! Too bad… SF isn’t actually that far from me. Just take lots of pictures and tell us alll about it if you go!
you got me needing some creeps!!
Ahh wish I was in NorCal (or closer) so I could meet up with you at FoodBuzz (although I only learned of what it actually was yesterday) ahaha. I’m not a food blogger anyway. I’m not even sure what I’d call myself :P. LOVED this post btw. If I have time I’m definitely going to try to make these crepes this wknd. Looks like they’d hit the spot.
