PARTNER POST: We’ve teamed up with Bonne Maman to bring you the best homemade breakfast and brunch recipes to show Mom you care this Mother’s Day and all spring long.
These buckwheat crepes are packed with flavor and filled with a beautiful combination of creamy brie, spicy jalapeño and sweet raspberry preserves.
I have been sending hints for days, these buckwheat crepes with brie, jalapeño, and raspberry preserves are how I want to breakfast in bed this Mother’s Day. 
As much as my family loves crepes, they don’t happen very often during the school year. Maybe once or twice at holiday time, and Stella requests them every year for her birthday, but usually we leave crepe making to the summer when our schedule allows for a long, leisurely breakfast.
My daughter has been watching me make crepes for years, and has finally started to try them on her own. So, of course this mamma requested them for her mother’s day breakfast. The kids love these buckwheat crepes simply spread with Bonne Maman Raspberry Preserves. I don’t think spread is the right word, They literally use half the jar, that is how much they LOVE them. Bonne Maman Preserves are hard not to love. Made with only simple ingredients that you would find in your own pantry, Bonne Maman actually means “Grandmother” or “Granny”, and these preserve taste exactly like grandma’s would taste.
I love preserves in my crepes as well, but you know I love a bit of heat with my sweet, so for mother’s day I requested these buckwheat crepes with brie, jalapeño, and raspberry preserves.

Brie, Jalapeño, and Raspberry Buckwheat Crepes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Description
These buckwheat crepes are a delightful combination of creamy brie, spicy jalapeño, and sweet raspberry preserves, perfect for a special breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 recipe of basic buckwheat crepes (see link in blog post for recipe)
- 8 ounces brie, sliced
- Bonne Maman Raspberry Preserves
- 1 jalapeño, seeded (if desired) and thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the buckwheat crepes according to the linked recipe in the blog post.
- In a small saucepan, warm 1/4 to 1/3 cup of Bonne Maman Raspberry Preserves over low heat just until the preserves begin to melt.
- Spread each crepe with a thin layer of the warmed raspberry preserves.
- Place two thin slices of brie on top of the preserves on each crepe.
- Add a few slices of jalapeño on top of the brie, adjusting the amount to taste.
- Fold the crepe over the filling and serve immediately while the brie is still warm and slightly melted.
Notes
For a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the jalapeño. These crepes are best served immediately while the brie is warm and melted. You can prepare the crepes in advance and reheat them slightly before assembling. Store any leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the buckwheat flour with regular all-purpose flour?
While you can use all-purpose flour, it will change the flavor and texture of the crepes. Buckwheat flour gives a unique nuttiness and is essential for the traditional crepe experience.
How do I prevent the crepes from sticking to the pan?
Make sure your pan is properly heated before adding the batter, and use a little butter or oil to grease the pan. Additionally, keep the crepes thin to ensure they cook evenly and release easily.
What can I use if I don’t have jalapeños on hand?
If jalapeños are unavailable, you can use other mild peppers like poblano or even a dash of red pepper flakes for a similar heat, but adjust the quantity according to your spice preference.
