Crêpes can be served with a variety of sweet or salty fillings. My faves are Nutella and Banana, or pieces of baked apples with applesauce, sugar, strawberry jam etc.. You can also try salty crêpes and stuff them with ham and cheese, ground beef, omelet etc..Have fun with them and experiment!
Bon appétit!
