Stir Fry Vegetables Stuffed Crêpes, A Light Healthy & Savory Delight


Stir Fry Vegetables Stuffed Crêpes are a delicious blend of texture and flavor, bringing together vibrant sautéed vegetables wrapped in soft, delicate crêpes. This savory dish makes for a satisfying brunch, lunch, or light dinner that feels both indulgent and nourishing. With ingredients like bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, and zucchini, the vegetable stir fry adds color and crunch, while the crêpes provide a warm, melt-in-your-mouth finish. It’s a versatile, crowd-pleasing meal you can prepare ahead or enjoy fresh off the skillet. I love CREPES! Sweet crêpes are generally made with wheat flour. When sweet, they can be eaten as part of breakfast or as a dessert. Common fillings include Nutella spread, preserves, sugar (granulated or powdered), maple syrup, golden syrup, lemon juice; whipped cream, fruit spreads, custard, and sliced soft fruits.

Savory crêpes are made with non-wheat flours such as buckwheat. Batter made from buckwheat flour is gluten-free, which makes it possible for people who have a gluten allergy or intolerance to eat this type of crêpe. Common savoury fillings for crêpes served for lunch or dinner are cheese, ham, and eggs, ratatouille, mushrooms, artichoke (in certain regions), and various meat products. Batters can also consist of other simple ingredients such as butter, milk, water, eggs, flour, salt, and sugar. Fillings are commonly added to the center of the crêpe and served with the edges partially folded over the center. An interesting tradition about crepes is that, in France, crêpes are traditionally served on Candlemas (La Chandeleur), 2 February.

This day was originally Virgin Mary's Blessing Day but became known in France as "Le Jour des Crêpes" (literally translated "The Day of the Crêpes", and sometimes called colloquially as "Avec Crêpe Day", "National Crêpe Day", or "day of the Crêpe "), referring to the tradition of offering crêpes. The belief was that catching the crêpe with a frying pan after tossing it in the air with your right hand while holding a gold coin in your left hand would cause you to become rich that year. The roundness, and golden colour from being fried in butter, of the crêpe resembles the sun and its rays. This symbolism also applies to the coin held in the person's hand. Yeeeeei to eating  more crepes!
