savory crepe

Non-sweet thin pancake

A savory crepe is a thin French pancake filled with non-sweet ingredients—cheese, ham, eggs, vegetables, or seafood.

Distinguished from dessert crepes, which feature sugar, fruit, or chocolate.

In Brittany, savory crepes made with buckwheat flour are called galettes: We ordered savory crepes with gruyère and mushrooms.
