Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups milk
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for cooking
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheese (such as mozzarella or Swiss)
• ¼ cup fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or dill), finely chopped
• Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

How to Make Savory Crepes with Cheese and Herbs

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and melted butter, mixing well.
2. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling it to cover the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
4. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until set. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.
5. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the shredded cheese and chopped herbs until well combined.
6. Spread a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture onto one half of each crepe. Sprinkle with black pepper to taste.
7. Fold the crepe over the filling and then in half again to create a triangle. Keep warm in the oven while you finish the others.
8. Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the batter to rest to ensure the crepes are tender and easy to flip.
• Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and to help achieve perfect crepes.
• Experiment with different cheeses and herbs for a variety of flavors.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the cream cheese with ricotta or goat cheese for a different taste.
• Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the filling for extra nutrition.
• Try using different herbs like basil or thyme for a unique flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Sliced tomatoes or a tomato salad for a refreshing contrast.
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a hearty meal.
• Fresh fruit or fruit compote for a sweet touch.
