Savory Cheese Crepe Triangles

Savory Cheese Crepe Triangles

These savory cheese crepes are perfect for brunch. They are traditionally used in the place of a cheese course and are sure to liven up any get together.

I prepared these for my book club last month and they were a huge hit with the bookers. I made a double batch and I am glad I did!

They were finished off and the talk of the group. Many of the attendees asked for the recipe and reported back that their families loved it as well.

It takes a bit longer to make than a traditional crepe but the effort is well worth it. The gorgonzola cheese is just a real joy and I don’t get to use it nearly enough.

  • Test your crepe batter by pouring a half tablespoon in your heated pan. Tilt your pan in a circular motion. Your batter should move around the pan freely. If it sticks spray again and lower heat. Once it moves freely remove from pan.
  • For each crepe add three to four tablespoons of batter to your pan. It should thinly coat the entire bottom of your pan. Cook the first side for approximately one minute. Once firm enough to flip do so.
  • Cook the second side until light brown flecks form. Should take about another minute. Once done remove from pan. Repeat until all batter is used.

Conclusion

I would not hesitate to feed this at any friend or family gathering. It is easily one of my favorite brunch dishes.

I occasionally add some berries like raspberry but no added toppings are needed with this cheese crepe recipe.

I usually serve this as a standalone but once in a while I serve some biscuits and jam.

My youngest isn’t a huge fan of this recipe but his older brother absolutely loves them.

You can prepare your batter ahead of time and refrigerate it until your ready to cook your cheese crepes. The batter lasts up to three days but don’t make your filling early. It tastes best fresh.

Go ahead and freeze your cooked crepes as long as they aren’t filled. To reheat put them in the oven for about seven minutes at 350 degrees and then add your filling.
