Introduction

Deliciously Unique Cheesy Turkish Crepe Rolls

Unlike classic French crepes, Turkish-style crepe rolls feature a savory, cheese-laden filling—often a blend of tangy feta and gentle mozzarella—wrapped in thin, tender crepes before pan-frying to perfection. Each bite delivers stretchy, rich cheese paired with buttery crepe, creating depth and satisfaction in every morsel.

The Secret to Silky Crepe Batter

Achieving smooth, tear-free crepes begins with a well-rested batter, using a mixture of flour, milk, eggs, and a touch of oil. Letting the batter rest for 15–30 minutes allows the flour to hydrate fully, ensuring pliable crepes that won’t crack when you roll them with cheese. Whisk until just combined and strain to eliminate lumps for best results!

Filling and Rolling Your Crepes

While you can use classic Turkish cheese pairs (like beyaz peynir and kasar), a blend of feta and shredded mozzarella offers authentic flavor and perfect meltiness. Add chopped herbs—such as parsley or fresh dill—for brightness. Fill each crepe with a generous line of the cheese mixture, then roll up tightly before pan-searing until the exterior is golden and crisp.

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, eggs, milk, and oil (or melted butter) until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15–30 minutes at room temperature.
2. Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease, then pour just enough batter to thinly coat the bottom (about 1/4 cup). Tilt and rotate pan for even coverage.
3. Cook each crepe for 1–2 minutes, until edges lift and light golden spots appear. Flip, cook for 30 seconds more, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter (makes ~8 crepes).
4. Mix together mozzarella, feta, chopped herbs, and black pepper.
5. Lay a crepe flat. Add 2–3 tablespoons of cheese mixture along one edge. Roll up tightly, burrito-style. Repeat for all crepes.
6. In a skillet over medium heat, melt a bit of butter or oil. Place rolls seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes, turning, until golden all around and cheese is melted inside.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra herbs and alongside your preferred dips or salads.
