Savory Crepes with Spinach & Bleu Cheese + a Drizzle of Lavender Infused Honey

One of my favorite dishes has always been crepes, but up until our trip to Paris a couple of decades ago {I can’t believe it’s been so long}, I had never tried savory crepes. We always made them at home with maple syrup, cinnamon sugar, and butter, but near Notre Dame we picked up a four cheese crepe as a mid morning snack. It was beyond decadent and encouraged me to try a savory veggie crepe at the Louvre later during that trip {which is still by far the best crepes – for both sweet and savory – that I have ever had}. I occasionally try to recreate savory crepes at home, but this particular recipe turned out to be perfect. Using a basic crepe recipe, I added in fresh spinach and crumbled bleu cheese that melted over a low flame atop the freshly made crepes. Once it was done I folded the crepes in half and cut it, crumbled more bleu cheese on top, and garnished it with fresh spinach leaves. Finally, I drizzled it with lavender infused honey {equal parts lavender simple syrup and honey} to add a sweetness to the pungent cheese and crisp spinach leaves. It was the perfect combination of something savory and fresh with just a touch of floral infused sweetness.

A Dose of Pretty

And just like that, it’s May! This week was a special one. We celebrated my son’s first birthday {and infant graduation} with pizza, presents, and cake + reminiscing over the fact that it’s been a year since his birth, which was such a beautiful experience. Plus, we got the chance to wrap up his birth month and begin mine. This weekend I’m excited to relax at home, continue celebrating my sweet toddler, and finalize some of my birthday plans {aka, yummy food, sparkly jewels, and celebrating with my boys}. I hope you have a great one as well! x
