For years now I've been making eggy crepes or waffles for the kids' breakfast as a way to get them eating more protein. One thing I discovered recently, is that if you cook the crepes on both sides at the same time it's faster and they come out slightly fluffy.

Don't cook it too long, or it gets hard. Cooked just enough and it rolls nicely:

I find these are tastier than what I was making before, you don't have to flip them, and they cook really quickly.
