Savory crêpes are perfectly suited for brunch. Softly scrambled eggs make a wonderful filling, especially with the addition of creamy goat cheese.

Any combination of herbs you have floating around your kitchen will work, but I personally favor scallions.

For the Herb and Goat Cheese Scrambled Eggs: Once the crepes are cooked and in the warm oven, whisk together milk, herbs and eggs. Wipe out the skillet, return to the stove and heat butter over medium low heat until melted. Add eggs and cook stirring often with a rubber spatula until eggs have just set, about 5 minutes. Add the goat cheese and gently stir until goat cheese is just incorporated into the eggs.
To assemble the crepes, place a scoop of eggs in 1/4 of the crepe then fold in half, then fold again so that the crepe pockets the eggs. Serve immediately.
