🧂 Seasoning, Veggie & Protein Options

Seasoning ideas:
Salt and pepper are plenty, but you can also add garlic powder, onion powder, or a pinch of dried herbs like thyme or parsley for extra savory flavor.

Veggie add-ins:
Sautéed spinach or mixed greens, mushrooms, zucchini, or leftover roasted vegetables all work well and cook quickly in a small skillet.

Protein boosts:
Use breakfast sausage, ground turkey, leftover chicken, or add an extra egg or egg whites to the scramble. Collagen peptides can also be stirred into the eggs for an easy protein boost.

Assembly:
Fill crepes with the warm egg, veggie, and protein mixture, then roll or fold. Serve with crispy hashbrowns on the side for a complete, satisfying meal.


Storage & Reheat (Savory Protein Crepes)

Storage:
Store crepes and filling separately for best texture. Refrigerate in airtight containers up to 3 days.

Reheat:
Warm crepes in a nonstick skillet over low heat (or microwave 10–15 seconds). Reheat filling gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through, then assemble fresh.
Tip: Assembled crepes can be reheated, but separating keeps them from getting soggy.
