French for the word pancake, crepes, are popular throughout all of France. While most well known as being a dessert, crepes with different fillings can also be eating for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Some of the most popular things to put inside a crepe are cheese, ham, spinach and eggs. For dessert fillings, chocolate and hazelnut Nutella is popular along with fresh fruits, jams and jellies, ice cream, and pie fillings.
Once you master the crepe, try both sweet and savory versions. They are all amazing.
