Savory Crepes

I was at my friend’s house this weekend and I woke up dreaming of pancakes. We went to the kitchen to look for ingredients and it turned out that she didn’t have baking powder I needed to make the American style pancakes I was craving so I settled for Savory crepes instead. When people think of crepes, they think sweet. Have you ever had crepes that were savory? They are just as interesting except there is a slight sweet flavor but you immediately get to mix that with savory without compromising on the great taste. Crepes are very similar to pancakes except you do not add baking powder to the batter and they are usually lighter than pancakes. This is a perfect breakfast or brunch dish for the weekend. If you are feeling adventurous during the week, you can go for it but I must warn you, you may end up eating so much of it you may not go to work. Enjoy this simple breakfast dish.
