Spinach and Ricotta Crepes

These Spinach and Ricotta Crepes are another great savory crepe recipe option. I love the ease of this recipe. It does take some time to cook the crepes and spinach and then assemble them.

To allow for more time with family and friends, they can be made ahead of time and baked right before you are ready to serve them. This allows you to put together an elegant dinner in just 10-15 minutes.

These Four Cheese Crepes make the perfect elegant dinner entrée to serve on a special romantic evening or to celebrate Bastille Day.

Four Cheese Crepes make the perfect elegant dinner entrée to serve on a special romantic evening or to celebrate Bastille Day

These Four Cheese Crepes make up my family’s favorite French dinner. Each year as we watch Tour de France (my husband is the cyclist in the family), we traditionally celebrate Bastille Day; which always occurs during the 3-week long race. What better way to celebrate a country’s freedom (even if it’s not the country where you reside) than with a decadent meal and a glass of Champagne?

Classic French Crepes

Classic French Crepes made with only 3 ingredients, quick and easy. This versatile recipe can be made sweet or savory.

Classic French Crepes

My mom taught me this Classic French Crepe recipe. She was given this recipe from a French friend when she was in her 20’s, so I believe it’s quite authentic too. While growing up she frequently served these as dessert with an orange sauce topping the crepes. It was an alcohol free (and in my opinion better tasting) version of Crepe Suzette than I’ve had in any restaurant.

I’ve also enjoyed turning these Classic French Crepes into a savory entree, as well as a dessert. By filling these crepes with cheese, meat and vegetables; you will have a savory dinner entree that will satisfy any taste preference. Try my Four Cheese Crepes or Spinach and Ricotta Crepes for some savory dinner crepe options.
