Prepare Crepe Batter

Start by mixing flour, eggs, milk, butter, and a pinch of salt in a blender until the batter is smooth. Let it rest for about an hour.

Cook Crepes

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a small amount of batter into the center, swirling to spread evenly. Cook until the edges lift from the pan, then flip to cook the other side.

Prepare Filling

Mix cream cheese, finely chopped herbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.

Assemble Pouches

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each crepe. Gather the edges to form a pouch and tie with a chive or green onion.

Serve

Serve immediately, or keep warm in an oven until ready to serve. These pouches are best enjoyed fresh.
