Savory Breakfast Crepes-13

I want to tell you all about the love affair that I’ve been having with crepes lately, but first, a bigger announcement.

The Britnell family is getting bigger….

5 baby chicks bigger :)

Raise your hand if I tricked you into reading this post by the words “special announcement”! muahahah :D

Either way, this is news that I’m super excited about! We got these 5 babies on Saturday and I’ve been obsessed with them ever since.

2 of them are Rhode Island Reds and the other three are Gold Sex Links. All 5 have yet to be named but contrary to popular advice, I WILL be naming them. Currently taking suggestions. The Golds are pretty docile and sweet. They’ll fall asleep in your hands in .5 seconds. The 2 Reds, however, are much feistier. They’re fast (I mean, for a baby chick) and one in particular, that can be identified by its red beak, seems to be the queen bee.

The most popular question that I’ve received is “How are the dogs handling this?”. Lexi loves them. She waits outside of the garage door in the morning to run in and see them (and give them a few adorable licks). Zorro on the other hand…..despite the fact that he could crush them under his paw and not even notice, he’s terrified of them. He won’t go within 5 feet of them unless the gate is clearly locked. He’s basically a 90 pound baby.

In ~20 weeks, we’ll have dozens of eggs EACH WEEK and you’re all invited over for some of these Savory Breakfast Crepes. bring the mimosas.

There’s a really delicious crepe place here in Nashville that I’m kind of obsessed with. Problem is, I can’t convince them to give me ALL the free crepes. So, I’ve been making them at home to satisfy the craving.

I like crepes because 1) they’re so fancy and 2) so easy.

Just put all the ingredients in a blender. Blend up reallllll nice. And then cook.

I added some rosemary to the dough because I’m fancy like that.

Heat your greased skillet up and then take it off of the heat. Pour batter into the skillet so that a very thin layer is covering the bottom of the pan. The amount of batter depends on the size of your skillet. I used the biggest skillet I have so it took ~2/3 cup to cover the bottom.

Put back on the heat. After about 3 minutes, flip the crepe and let it cook for an equal amount of time on the other side.

At the same time, be cooking your eggs. I’m a really good multi-tasker! (says everyone of our generation) These eggs are  “throw in whatever you have leftover in your fridge” kind of eggs.
