Notes

✅ Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the crepes and filling in advance; assemble and fry just before serving for maximum crispiness.
✅ Extra Crunch: For an ultra-crispy crust, double coat the crepes with eggs and breadcrumbs.
✅ Flavor Boost: Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra burst of freshness.
✅ Serving Suggestion: Pair with a fresh salad or a light garlic yogurt dip for the perfect balance of flavors.
