My father is from the Brittany region of France, where crepes where born. So, every year as long as I can remember, for Christmas Day dinner we have these amazing dinner crepes with our meal!
For those of you who thought crepes were only for dessert, you are in for a great surprise! The creamy ham, mushroom, and swiss filling is perfect! Maybe it will become a favorite holiday dish for you too!

Caroline, would it be just as delicious if I used Gruyere cheese instead of Swiss? These look yummy
