Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the crepes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Butter or oil for cooking

For the filling:

• 1 cup cooked chicken, thinly sliced or shredded (use roasted or grilled)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Gruyère cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare the crepe batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15–20 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
2. Cook the crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center, swirling to spread thinly. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side or until lightly golden. Stack finished crepes on a plate and cover to keep warm.
3. Assemble the rolls: Lay a crepe flat. Spread a small amount of Dijon mustard if using, place some cooked chicken, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and season with black pepper.
4. Roll the crepe tightly like a cigar. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
5. Pan-sear the rolls: In a skillet, heat a small amount of butter over medium heat. Place the crepe rolls seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
6. Serve hot, sliced in half if desired, with a side salad or dipping sauce.

storage/reheating

Store leftover crepe rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and crispy, or in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it may soften the crisp texture.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken for this recipe?

Yes, rotisserie chicken works well and saves time. Just shred it before using.

Can these be made ahead of time?

Absolutely. Prepare and roll the crepes in advance, then pan-sear them just before serving.

What’s the best pan for making crepes?

A non-stick skillet or crepe pan is ideal for achieving thin, evenly cooked crepes.

Can I freeze stuffed crepe rolls?

Yes. Freeze after rolling but before pan-searing. Defrost and cook as directed when ready to serve.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
