"PB & J" Filled Crepes

"As a French invention, crepes generally stick to the haute cuisine rule that sweet & savory flavors should remain separate. For instance, think of the classic (savory) La Complete crepe, which involves shredded Gruyere, a slice of ham, and an egg; or the traditional (sweet) Chocolat crepe, with chocolate-hazelnut spread and sliced bananas. We were curious, what happens if you break with culinary tradition and put savory and sweet together in a single crepe? Trader Joe’s PB&J Filled Crepes help answer this question—and they do so deliciously!

These ultra-thin pancakes are made using a wheat-flour batter that is itself a nice balance of savory & sweet, including salt and sugar in the recipe. Once cooked, they’re spread with a thin layer of both savory peanut butter spread (made with dry roasted peanuts), and sweet strawberry filling (made with—you guessed it—strawberries), then rolled to make a treat that is delightfully easy to enjoy. It turns out, the flavor combination of savory-nutty and sweet-fruity in a single Crepe is magnifique! Add the fact that these individually wrapped Crepes can be stored anywhere (no refrigeration required), and we believe they’ll become a regular part of your handy-snack rotation. And if you have access to a microwave, these Crepes are also wonderful when gently warmed for six to eight seconds."
