Strawberry Crêpes w/Nutella

It’s easily been 10 years since I last had crêpes. I was on my eighth grade class trip (wow…dating myself here…), and although I spoke some French, I just couldn’t figure out how to order a crêpe properly.  If it wasn’t for the word “avec” and the fact that “crêpe” is the same in both languages, I don’t think the waiter would have known what I wanted! (For those of you heading to a francophone location soon, try ordering your crêpes something like this: “je voudrais un crêpe avec des fraises et Nutella” or, “chocolat” for Nutella.  Trust me, you’ll look less crazy then just saying “avec…avec….” over and over again.).

What I love about these crêpes are the versatility of the dish: they make a light, Sunday breakfast (or brunch), or a fanstastic (and impressive) dessert.  Prepare with Strawberries & Nutella for an extremely easy dish, or with other berries, or chocolate spreads for a clearly delicious treat.
