For a recipe like this with several fillings, ideal for serving buffet style, we like to make small crepes about 20 cm in diameter, because they are easier to eat and less filling, so each guest can try several. The quantities below make about two filled crepes of each type, 12 in total, so if you want more, simply multiply them accordingly.

How to Make Crepes Rellenos Step by Step

1. Make the crepe batter

First, prepare the crepe batter. In a bowl or blender jar, mix 300 g wheat flour with 1 pinch salt, 4 M eggs, 600 ml whole milk and 100 g butter at room temperature. Blend this mixture with a hand blender.

2. Cook the crepes

Heat a little butter in the pan and pour in a ladleful of batter. Swirl the pan so the batter covers the whole surface. Brown the batter on one side until the crepe loosens slightly from the pan. At that point, flip the crepe and cook it on the other side. Repeat until all the batter is used. Stack the crepes on a plate, covered with a clean cotton kitchen towel. Next, we will explain how to prepare 3 sweet fillings and 3 savory fillings.

3. Fill with chocolate and hazelnut spread

Let's start with the sweet fillings. To make the crepes filled with chocolate and hazelnut spread, spread 2 tablespoons chocolate and hazelnut spread, such as Nutella or Nocilla, over the crepes and cover with 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped hazelnuts. If you do not like the crunchy result the hazelnuts add, you can replace them with banana slices. Roll up.

4. Fill with strawberries

For the strawberry-filled crepes, spread 2 tablespoons cream cheese or mascarpone mixed with 1 teaspoon powdered sugar over the crepes and cover with 6 chopped strawberries. Roll up.

7. Fill with brie and bacon

Now let's prepare savory filled crepes. For the brie-filled crepes, brown 2 slices bacon in a pan without oil and place them on the crepes over 2 slices brie cut in half lengthwise. Roll up.

10. Serve the savory crepes

Tips for the Best Crepes Rellenos

Make the crepes small for buffets

For a recipe like this with several fillings, ideal for serving buffet style, we like to make small crepes about 20 cm in diameter. They are easier to eat and less filling, so each guest can try several.

Prepare the crepes ahead of time

If you have many guests and are going to make lots of crepes, you can make them in advance and keep them in the fridge unfilled. That way, you only need to fill them shortly before the celebration.

Adjust the quantities as needed

Keep in mind that the quantities below are guidelines for making two filled crepes of each type, 12 in total. If you want to prepare more crepes, just multiply these quantities accordingly.

30 Go-To Recipes I Keep Coming Back to in My Own Kitchen

Universal Meals: Recipes

Like a lot of home cooks, I like having a rotation that covers cozy classics, dishes from around the world, and sweets that make everyone happy.

Some nights I want something luxuriously rich, and that's when I reach for this La Viña Molten Cheesecake recipe, this refined Original French Crème Brûlée recipe, or a truly indulgent Chocolate Mousse Cake recipe. And on days when I'm after something fruity and soothing, this timeless French Tarte Tatin recipe is my reliable pick.

For mornings that call for something easy and for lighter plates, I'll whip up these airy Oatmeal and Banana Pancakes recipe, a hearty Stuffed Sweet Potato recipe, or these bright Eggs Stuffed with Avocado and Salmon recipe. And whenever I need a gluten-free staple for the pantry, this straightforward Gluten-Free Rice Flour recipe does the job.

When tapas and Mediterranean cooking are calling, I tend to cycle through this punchy Basque Tuna with Tomato recipe, crispy Patatas Bravas Air Fryer recipe, silky Tirokafteri Greek Dip Sauce recipe, and a cool Burrata Salad with Tomato and Pesto recipe. This crisp Italian Vitello Tonnato recipe is another one I love to serve when the occasion feels a bit more special.

Hearty midday meals and comforting suppers? These are the ones I'm always recommending: this warming Meatballs in Spanish Sauce recipe, traditional Meatballs in Almond Sauce recipe, deeply savory Italian Bolognese Sauce recipe, and velvety Chicken Croquettes in Thermomix recipe. When I'm after something more substantial, I'll bake up this Greek Pastitsio Pie recipe, rustic Potatoes and Squid Stew recipe, or the deeply comforting French Boeuf Bourguignon recipe.

Street-food cravings and party spreads usually lead me to this juicy Homemade Chicken Doner Kebab recipe, crispy Salchipapas recipe, punchy Mexican Pork Carnitas recipe, or these crackly Korean Hobak Jeon recipe. These effortless Air Fryer Zucchini Rings recipe are another favorite of mine for a quick appetizer or snack.

And when I'm hosting and putting together drinks alongside a full menu, I'll often serve dinner with this refreshing Original Cuban Mojito recipe, this potent Long Island Iced Tea recipe, or a pitcher of this fruity Bleeding Spanish Sangria recipe. To bring the whole table together, I like setting out this zesty French Remoulade Sauce recipe on the side, or finishing things off with this eye-catching Mediterranean Black Rice with Squid recipe.

Even More Tasty Recipes to Cook for Your Family

After years of cooking, testing, and tweaking in my own kitchen, I've come to believe the greatest dishes boil down to three things: straightforward methods, techniques you can trust, and serious flavor.

Every recipe gathered here is one I genuinely cook over and over—whether it's a fast meal just for me or something a little more celebratory for friends and family.

On the sweet side, the rich, silky Orange Chocolate Mousse Recipe is a go-to when I want something that feels fancy yet comes together without fuss. Another dessert I adore is the caramelized Trdelnik Slavic Pastry Recipe, modeled on the well-known Central European chimney cake. If baking is your thing, knowing how to make syrup for better dessert texture helps a lot, and my Inverted Sugar Recipe walks through exactly how I do it at home.

When something light and uncomplicated is what I'm after, I'll usually make the classic Italian Caprese Salad Recipe or a flawlessly cooked Simple Poached Egg Recipe. For cozier, more filling meals, I frequently point people to the satisfying Meatball Sandwich Recipe, the creamy Russian Stroganoff Beef Recipe, and the fast weeknight winner One Pot Pasta Recipe.

I'm also a big fan of sharing dishes with roots in other countries, such as the authentic Sorropotún de Bonito Fish Stew Recipe, crispy Chilean Pumpkin Sopaipillas Recipe, and the traditional Spanish Cochifrito Segovian Fried Pig Recipe.

Air fryer cooking is another category I turn to often, since it cuts down on time without sacrificing texture. The ones I make most include Air Fryer Pork Ribs Recipe, Air Fryer Chicken Thighs Recipe, Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes Recipe, Air Fryer Baked Potatoes Recipe, Air Fryer Peppers Recipe, Air Fryer Mixed Sandwich Recipe, Air Fryer Toasted Bread Recipe, and Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs Recipe.

And for those steering clear of wheat, my cozy Gluten-Free Lasagna Recipe shows that a classic baked pasta can still be rich, cheesy, and deeply satisfying without any gluten.
