If there’s ever a way to make breakfast or brunch feel like a holiday celebration, it’s with these dreamy Eggnog Crêpes. Light, delicate, and kissed with the comforting spice of nutmeg and cinnamon, each fold of these crêpes wraps around a creamy filling that feels like a cozy winter hug. The hint of eggnog gives a festive twist without overwhelming the dish, so even non-eggnog lovers can fall for them.

Whether you’re planning a holiday brunch, breakfast-for-dinner night, or just want a luxurious treat with your morning coffee, these Eggnog Crêpes deliver something both special and surprisingly easy to pull together. They make a wonderful canvas for fresh berries, spiced whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. And if you drizzle them with a bit of maple syrup or caramel? Pure magic.

Why You’ll Love This Eggnog Crêpes Recipe

This recipe is a seasonal delight, but it doesn’t lock you into just holiday mornings. The batter can be made the night before, making it stress-free. It has the elegance of French crêpes with the warm spice of eggnog flavor, making them ideal for impressing guests without working too hard. They’re also very customizable with different toppings or fillings.

Can I Use Store-Bought Eggnog or Homemade?

Both options work beautifully. If you’re in a rush, high-quality store-bought eggnog does the trick. If you like to control your sweetness and spice levels, homemade eggnog will let you tailor the flavor to your taste. Just be sure it’s well chilled before adding to the batter.

Ingredients for the Eggnog Crêpes

To make these Eggnog Crêpes extra special, we use ingredients that enhance both texture and flavor. Here’s what you’ll need and why each one matters.

All-purpose flour: Gives the crêpe structure without making it too dense.
Eggs: Essential for binding and creating that delicate texture.
Eggnog: The star ingredient, bringing creamy richness and subtle spice.
Milk: Balances the eggnog so it’s not too thick or sweet.
Butter (melted): Adds richness and keeps the crêpes from sticking.
Salt: Just a pinch enhances the overall flavor.
Nutmeg & Cinnamon: Optional, but these amplify that festive flair.
Vanilla extract: A touch of warmth and depth.

How To Make the Eggnog Crêpes

Step 1: Blend the Batter

In a blender, combine the flour, eggs, eggnog, milk, melted butter, salt, vanilla, and optional spices. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).

Step 2: Heat the Pan

Preheat a non-stick crêpe pan or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 3: Cook the Crêpes

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, then swirl to evenly coat the surface. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the underside is golden. Flip and cook another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean towel.

Step 4: Fill and Fold

Add your desired fillings—whipped cream, spiced cream cheese, fruit preserves, or mascarpone all work well. Fold or roll the crêpes and top with powdered sugar, syrup, or berries.

Serving and Storing Eggnog Crêpes

This recipe yields about 10 crêpes, serving 4 to 5 people generously. Serve them warm for the best flavor and texture. If you need to prepare them in advance, stack cooked crêpes between parchment paper and keep them wrapped in foil. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave just until warm.

They also freeze well—just thaw and reheat when ready. The batter can also be stored in the fridge overnight if you’d rather cook them fresh the next day.
