Keto Avocado Egg Crepes are a delicious and nutritious dish that combines the creamy richness of avocado with the protein-packed goodness of eggs, making it a perfect choice for those following a ketogenic diet.
History of Crepes:
The word “crepe” comes from the Latin word “crispa,” meaning “curled.” Crepes originated in Brittany, a region in northwest France, where they have been a traditional dish for centuries. Originally, crepes were made with buckwheat flour, a staple crop in the region. Over time, crepes gained popularity and evolved into a versatile dish enjoyed worldwide. The thin, pancake-like structure of crepes makes them an ideal vessel for a variety of fillings, both sweet and savory.
