These Sweet Crepes can easily turn your breakfast to a feast. Are you saying you are not a breakfast person? Believe me you can’t say ‘no’ to breakfast with these festive looking crepes. Even early in the morning!
These breakfast crepes filled with jam can be served either at breakfast or as a dessert in the afternoon. I can hear some of you asking “Why not for dinner?”
If you’re following this blog for some time, you know how much I love to have breakfast. When I say breakfast, it’s absolutely not a bowl of cornflakes or a sandwich. I can’t think of breakfast without a form of eggs; boiled, scrambled, poached. I am on cloud nine if I have a fluffy cheese omelet.
Our typical breakfast has mainly cheeses of various kinds, black and green olives, jams, honey, butter, egg, tomato and cucumber. We generally try to prepare something special when we have enough time to spend time at breakfast table enjoying the food and talking on how we spend the week or planning what to do on that day.
Sweet crepes filled with jam are one of these special foods that we have at big Sunday breakfasts. I mostly wake up early thanks to our 3-year-old precious son and have enough time to prepare an attractive breakfast table. As he loves to eat crepes, it’s like a tradition in our home to have crepes in the morning. He asks for either crepes or pancakes even on the weekdays.
I don’t know why but unlike pancakes, sweet crepes are very common in Turkish cuisine although they are originally from French cuisine. And we love to fill and roll them up. We sometimes make gluten-free crepes with rice flour too.
If you are not an early morning person and don’t want to spend time making crepes in the morning, you can just make them a day before and keep them in the refrigerator till morning.
You can serve crepes as they are and leave the filling to your guests. Or you can make dessert crepes filled with homemade strawberry jam, roll them up and dust a little with powdered sugar right before serving. We use this jam when making breakfast parfait too.

Sweet Crepes With Jam
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup milk

- 1 cup flour
- Butter to fry ½ teaspoon for each crepe
- Jam of any kind
INSTRUCTIONS
- Beat egg and milk.
- Add in a pinch of salt.
- Add in flour little by little until smooth.
- Heat a nonstick pan. Using a brush, coat it with oil or butter and heat it. Make sure the bottom of the pan is well coated.
- Take some batter with a small ladle and pour it in the center of the pan. Just pour one ladle each time and turn the pan around itself to spread the batter and fry it over medium high heat. You must be quick while doing these steps.
- Flip it up after about 1 minute with a spatula and fry the other side about 1 minute. Take it on a plate.
- Remove the pan from the heat and butter the pan again and continue with another crepe, repeating the same steps until you finish the batter. Don’t forget to put ½ teaspoon butter in the pan each time.
- Fill them with various jams and roll them up.

Making crepes kind of intimidates me, which is ironic considering the simple ingredients. I'll have to give them a try!
Patty Price says
Oh they look good with the jam!
Zerrin says
Maria- It definitely makes our breakfast more appetizing! Thank you!
Gera- It sounds fantastic as dessert too. And dulce de leche sounds another yummy alternative as filling.
Kathy- You must try it as it is very easy yet so yummy.
Monet- I would send you some if it was possible. Oh an idea just came to my mind now. Why don’t we spread cheese and black mulberry jam at the same time. Sounds great! I will try it next time.
Magic of Spice- Never tried it with fruit. Must be refreshing. I will try it when we have so many fruits these days.
Dokuzuncubulut- Teşekkürler! Birkaç denemeden sonra neyse ki öğrenebildim bu kolay ama çok lezzetli kahvaltı/tatlı seçeneğini. İyi ki de öğrenmişim, şimdi sık sık yapıyorum.
Penny- It’s so easy to make, you must taste these beauties.

Merhaba Zerrin,
Krepler mükemmel gözüküyor, yumuşacık, incecik olmuşlar, fotoğraflarından belli.
Benim de favorim peynirlidir, ama çocuklar daha çok tatlı içlerle severler:)
Ellerine sağlık, sevgiler...

I love crepes too. Haven't had them since I lived at home though. We used to have contests to see who could flip them in the pan (my mom always won and ours landed all over the place).
Reeni says
Crepes are a special treat Zerrin! Especially filled with this luscious jam... or with Nutella! My personal favorite. I'm so glad you were able to visit my blog again!
Monet says
Your crepes are making me drool. That blackberry jam is oozing out and my stomach is growling! I love spreading cheese on my crepes too. I could probably eat crepes for breakfast everyday of the week...there are so many possibilities for fillings!
kathy gori says
I've never made crepes, these look wonderful!!
Gera @ SweetsFoodsBlog says
Here are very common crepes, but not for breakfast, as dessert. As filling the black mulberry jam is completely yummy 🙂
At my country, if you make crepes the filling - a must - is with dulce de leche!
Cheers,
Gera
Maria says
Mmmm! Great breakfast treat!
Carol Egbert says
This looks like a lovely way to start the day. There was a time in my life where I had frozen crêpes always on hand, perhaps that time has come again.
penny aka jeroxie says
Bliss. I think I may make some this weekend.
Magic of Spice says
Your crepes look perfect! I love them with a bit of sweet cheese and fruit, but you are right so many things can complement...Great job!
