FAQ: Air Fryer Cheese and Bacon Crepes
1. Can I make the crepe batter ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the batter up to 24 hours in advance. Just cover it and store it in the fridge. Stir well before using, as some separation may occur.
2. What type of cheese works best?
Cheddar, mozzarella, or a cheese blend works perfectly. You can also try gouda, Swiss, or even feta for a stronger flavor.
3. Do I need to pre-cook the bacon?
Yes — always cook the bacon before adding it to the crepes. This ensures it’s crispy and flavorful once air fried.
4. Can I make these crepes vegetarian?
Absolutely! Simply skip the bacon or replace it with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or caramelized onions for a delicious meat-free version.
5. What temperature should I use in the air fryer?
Set your air fryer to 180°C / 350°F and cook for 6–8 minutes, until the crepes are golden and lightly crisp on the edges.
6. How do I prevent crepes from sticking to the parchment paper?
Lightly spray or brush the parchment with oil or melted butter before placing the crepes inside the air fryer basket.
7. Can I reheat leftover crepes?
Yes! Reheat them in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes at 160°C / 320°F. They’ll stay soft inside and regain a little crispness on the outside.
8. What can I serve with these crepes?
They pair wonderfully with sour cream, garlic or yogurt sauce, or even a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you like a sweet–savory balance.
