2) Cook bacon and crepes

Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp; drain and keep warm. Wipe skillet clean, heat to medium, lightly butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter, tilt to spread thin. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until golden, then stack and keep warm.

3) Assemble and serve

Crumble or fold bacon over each crepe. Optional: top with a fried or soft-cooked egg, fold, and serve immediately.

FAQs

Can I make the batter ahead? Yes. Mix batter and refrigerate up to 24 hours, or rest 10 minutes before cooking.
How to keep crepes from sticking? Cook on a lightly oiled or buttered skillet and wipe between batches; keep crepes warm on a plate.
Can I make this dairy-free? Use dairy-free milk and a neutral oil in place of butter; you may need a touch more salt.
