I am often asked what my favourite breakfast is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each time I reply without a second thought: The Spinach-cheddar cr\u00eape<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s just as delicious as the Ham-Swiss cheese cr\u00eape, the Banana-chocolate or any other one on the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, Spinach-cheddar is still my number one, because of what it means for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day, way back in 1987 when we were first starting out, my son interrupted me as I was chopping up fresh spinach and adding it to some cr\u00eape batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 \u201cNo, mom, you can\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 \u201cAnd why can\u2019t I? I am going to make a big spinach cr\u00eape and grate some good cheddar on top. It\u2019s going to be delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 \u201cNo, mom, people<\/i> Don\u2019t eat spinach for breakfast. It\u2019ll be impossible to sell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 \u201cLet\u2019s see what happens,\u201d I answered, as I continued mixing the spinach into the cr\u00eape batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spread it onto rumbling hot griddle and let it cook, flipping after a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I grated a generous helping of aged cheddar on top, folded it and let it cook a little longer to allow the ingredients to happily mingle together. To serve this delicious flavour match-up, I chose my most attractive plate from my hodgepodge of dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That \u201cimpossible\u201d cr\u00eape is still today the most popular savoury cr\u00eape in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s exactly why it is my favourite \u2013 because each time someone mentions it, I remember that when you apply a little creativity, nothing is impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all of you who got busy and made cr\u00eapes after my last message, go for it. Be bold and adventurous!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add to your batter some small granola chunks, finely chopped kale, chia seeds, ground pistachios, toasted coconut, crispy bacon bits or any other ingredient that inspires you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might just become like me: a home apprentice who comes up with an unforgettable cr\u00eape. Be sure to name it, and if you have time, take a picture of it. Of course, choosing a good cheese (preferably local) is key. Where I live, we like OKA, Le Pionnier and Le Mamirolle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psst\u2026 send me a photo of your delicious flavour match-up if you like. These days, I have all the time in the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
