Crepes with Ricotta and Peach Thyme Confiture is a refined, summery dish featuring delicate crepes filled with creamy ricotta and topped with a fragrant peach thyme compote. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, it balances sweetness, creaminess, and a subtle herbal aroma for an elegant finish.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 tbsp honey or powdered sugar (to taste)
  • 3 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2–3 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peach thyme confiture: In a saucepan, combine peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and thyme sprigs. Cook over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove thyme sprigs and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool.
  2. Make the crepe batter: In a bowl, whisk flour and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, water, and melted butter until smooth. Gradually mix wet ingredients into dry until batter is thin and lump-free. Rest for 20–30 minutes.
  3. Cook the crepes: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter it. Pour in about 1/4 cup of batter, swirling to coat the pan. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  4. Prepare the ricotta filling: In a bowl, mix ricotta with honey or powdered sugar until creamy. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  5. Assemble the crepes: Spread a layer of ricotta filling down the center of each crepe and top with peach thyme confiture. Fold or roll and garnish with extra confiture and thyme leaves.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Letting the crepe batter rest helps create tender, elastic crepes.
  • Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture.
  • The thyme adds a subtle, aromatic note—remove sprigs before serving.
  • Ricotta filling can be prepared in advance and refrigerated.
  • Dust with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
