Mother’s Day is just around the corner! What better way to celebrate mom than with a gorgeous brunch. I love when the main is easy to make and something that can be made ahead of time always helps. Crepes are also a great way to celebrate Canadian Grade A Eggs. Egg, Ham and Cheese Stuffed Crepes are the perfect Mother’s Day brunch main. The crepes themselves can be made up to 3 days ahead of time wrapped well in foil or plastic wrap. You just need to bring them to room temperature before stuffing.
The filling is simple, scrambled eggs, ham and cheese. After the crepes are stuffed they can be layered in a casserole and refrigerated until ready to bake. All you need to go along with them is a nice green or fruit salad. To finish off the meal a delightful Brunch Lemon Bundt would have mom smiling from ear to ear.
I love crepes for Mother’s Day, they seem extra special but they are so easy to make. Crepes Lorraine was what I shared last year for Mother’s Day, and it is one of my all time favorite brunch recipes.
