I love crepes. I could eat them with nothing inside. I especially love crepes with strawberries and a cream cheese filling. Here is a recipe I have made a few times. It is more of a dessert but I will admit, I had these as a breakfast a few months ago!
Strawberry filled crepes with cream cheese filling
1 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
Place in a blender or mix with a whisk. To avoid lumps add all ingredients before adding the flour. I have an electric crepe maker (picture below) and I LOVE it. If you love to make crepes it is worth the $30. Amazon.com has them for sale and occasionally Target and Fred Meyer will have them in stock. If you do not have a crepe machine go to this website http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1DgmbMMOgA to get tips and pointers on how to cook a crepe. You can use his recipe for crepes if you wish. I can not taste the difference in any crepes I have had. It is not too hard although I get pretty annoyed when I rip mine. I do the same with omelets and now have an omelet maker :)
Filling:
Sliced strawberries
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
Mix together in an electric mixer.
Place strawberries and cream cheese mixture inside a warm crepe and fold closed. You can also drizzle some chocolate on top. I have never tried it that way and thought of it after all the crepes were gone today!
Here is a picture of my reminder! This is what Brooklyn is wearing today. When I looked at her I remembered the challenge and thought I would cook some crepes while she napped!

Well, you're recipe sounds amazing! And I love how Brooklyn is theme-dressed! I can't wait to try these! Thanks!
I love crepes! But alas, I don't have a crepe maker and make them the old-fashioned way, but now I'm on the hunt for a crepe maker at a good price! And I've had strawberries in my crepes before, but NEVER with cream cheese and all that yumminess! I am so excited to try your crepe recipe (mine always gets lumps) and add your filling. Woohoo!
I think I am going to redo my dinners this week to include this. It looks so yummy! And Brooklyn is too cute!
Cute Cute baby! And this is right up my alley! I guess i better get busy and post a recipe!
I'm so glad DJ (Kristi's husband) is so excited about our recipes! :)
I am with my sisters...we grew up on crepes and always had them with strawberries and whipped cream, I really think this is going to bring it up a million notches! Also, my mother in law puts orange zest in her crepes, I haven't done it yet (I don't usually have oranges on hand) but it makes them pretty good to eat on their own too!
I don't know why all my comments lately have been under DJ but it's kinda funny!
Christina and I had these crepes the other day and I think I ate 5! They were so good!
