#### 3. **Make the Dill and Cheese Filling:**
– In a mixing bowl, combine the **cream cheese**, **shredded cheddar**, **fresh dill**, **garlic powder**, and a pinch of **salt** and **pepper**. Stir everything together until well blended.
– You can also use a hand mixer to beat the ingredients together for a smoother filling. The mixture should be creamy and easy to spread.
#### 4. **Assemble the Savory Crepes:**
– Take one crepe and place it flat on a plate. Spread a generous spoonful of the **dill and cheese filling** in the center of the crepe, leaving a small border around the edges.
– Fold the sides of the crepe inward over the filling, then fold the bottom and top to form a neat package or roll it up like a burrito.
– Repeat this process with the remaining crepes and filling.
#### 5. **Optional: Warm the Crepes:**
– If you’d like your crepes warm, you can place them back into the skillet for a minute or two, flipping them gently until the cheese filling is melted and the crepes are heated through. This step adds a nice touch of crispiness to the outside while keeping the inside creamy.
#### 6. **Serve and Enjoy:**
– Serve the **Savory Dill and Cheese Crepes** hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh dill or additional shredded cheese if desired.
– These crepes pair wonderfully with a light salad or a bowl of soup for a complete meal.
### Tips for Perfect Savory Dill and Cheese Crepes
– **Don’t Overfill**: When adding the cheese and dill filling, be sure not to overfill the crepes, as this can make them difficult to fold. A little goes a long way!
– **Make Ahead**: The crepe batter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to **24 hours**. Just give it a good stir before using. You can also prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the crepes.
– **Cheese Options**: While cheddar is a classic choice for these savory crepes, feel free to mix it up with other cheeses such as **goat cheese**, **cream cheese**, or **feta**. The key is to choose cheeses that melt well and complement the flavor of the dill.
– **Fresh Dill vs. Dried Dill**: Fresh dill provides a vibrant, aromatic flavor, but if you’re using dried dill, reduce the amount to about **1 tablespoon** as dried herbs are more concentrated.
### Variations You Can Try
– **Add Protein**: For a heartier dish, add some cooked **chicken**, **ham**, or **smoked salmon** to the filling.
– **Vegetarian Option**: Include sautéed **spinach**, **mushrooms**, or **caramelized onions** for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
– **Cheese Combinations**: Experiment with different cheese blends like mozzarella, Gruyère, or even a spicy **jalapeño cheddar** to give the crepes a unique twist.
