12 - Scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, brie cheese, spinach, feta cheese, chicken salad, ham and cheese, tomato and mozzarella caprese

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Combine eggs, milk, water, flour, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and melted butter in a blender. Pulse for 10 to 15 seconds until smooth. Refrigerate the batter for at least 20 minutes or up to 48 hours to rest.
02 - Warm a small non-stick or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the bottom with butter by swirling it around the pan.
03 - Pour approximately 60 ml (1/4 cup) of batter into the pan, tilting and swirling to create an even thin layer. Cook for 25 to 35 seconds until the top appears dry and edges are slightly browned. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 10 seconds.
04 - Remove crepe and lay flat on a plate. Repeat cooking with remaining batter. Serve warm with preferred fillings or toppings.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - The batter can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored refrigerated. Leftover crepes keep up to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
02 - To keep crepes warm during cooking, stack them on a plate near a heat source and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Avoid warming in oven to prevent overcooking.
03 - Reheat crepes covered with a damp paper towel in the microwave for a few seconds or warm inside a resealable bag.
