To prepare, gently warm the crepes in a dry non-stick skillet over medium heat for about one to two minutes per side, or until pliable and heated through. You can also warm them briefly in a microwave. Once warm, they are ready to be filled. For savory options, add cheese, ham, eggs, or vegetables. For sweet variations, fill them with fruit, jam, chocolate spread, or a dusting of sugar.
