In France, some of the most popular crepe fillings include Nutella, sugar and lemon juice, fresh fruits like strawberries and bananas, whipped cream, and savory options like ham and cheese.
When it comes to pairing crepes, the possibilities are endless. From sweet options like Nutella, strawberries, and whipped cream to savory fillings like ham and cheese or spinach and feta.
Crepe filling is typically made of a variety of ingredients such as fruits, chocolate, cream, and nuts. These ingredients are mixed together to create a delicious and flavorful filling that complements the delicate texture of the crepe.
Start by placing the crepe flat on a clean surface. Fold it in half to form a semi-circle, then fold it in half again to create a triangle shape. You can also roll the crepe into a cylinder or fold it into quarters.
