Why I Love This Recipe

I stumbled upon this recipe during a trip to Paris, where street vendors filled crêpes with a variety of fillings. The first bite of soft crêpe wrapped around melty cheese and vibrant herbs was unforgettable. Since then, I’ve made these wraps countless times, each time reinventing the filling to reflect seasonal ingredients.

Ingredient Notes

The ingredients for this recipe are simple yet flavorful. You’ll need 1 cup of all-purpose flour for the crêpes, which can be substituted with whole wheat flour for a healthier option. The 2 tablespoons of fresh herbs can vary; I love using chives and parsley for a fresh taste. The 1 pound of goat cheese adds a creamy texture, but feta or ricotta can work as alternatives. Finally, 1/2 cup of ricotta enhances the richness; substitute with cream cheese for a denser filling.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it. Pour a ladle of batter, swirling to cover the base evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.
  2. In a bowl, mix the goat cheese with chopped fresh herbs and ricotta until well combined.
  3. Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the crêpe, fold it in half, and then roll it up. Serve warm.

Things I’ve Learned

To avoid sticky crêpes, ensure your batter is well-mixed and your skillet is at the right temperature. Store any leftover crêpes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat by placing in a warm skillet for a couple of minutes. Making the crêpes ahead of time is a game-changer; they freeze well, just remember to separate them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
