Crepes are one of my family's favorite breakfast meals. I usually serve them three different ways. Cady enjoys them simply buttered with syrup. Chelsea enjoys them Swedish style and my way is filled with either cottage cheese or sour cream topped with syrup. Colleen enjoys them three different ways Swedish, cottage cheese and German style. Try them out and see which is your favorite.
