Crepes are most often served for holidays, but there are so many recipes and ideas for fillings that it’s a shame to limit yourself to just the cabbage and mushroom variety. When I discovered the cheese and vegetable stuffing, I began making crepes non-stop. The whole family enjoys them, even the picky eaters. Who could refuse a portion of such deliciousness?

Crepes have been a favourite for generations but often seem somewhat overshadowed. However, anyone who has tried crepes with zucchini and mozzarella just once has immediately added them to their menu. Even my mother-in-law, a food expert, asked me for the recipe. It’s a simple meal, perfect for daily meals or larger occasions.

Crepes with mozzarella and zucchini

When this recipe caught my eye, I knew I had to test it immediately. zucchini prices are so attractive, and zucchini is available in stores practically all year round. Even more vegetables ended up inside, making this a great dish to sneak more of them into your diet. Crepes with Zucchini and Mozzarella are perfect for a quick lunch or a warm dinner.

The combination of crispy breadcrumbs, juicy vegetables, and stretchy mozzarella creates a unique flavor for these crepes. They taste simply perfect with garlic sauce.
