Can you bottle the taste of a cozy winter breakfast? I think I just might have with this delicious pumpkin crepe recipe filled with pumpkin spice soft spreadable cheese! If you like really, really, thin pancakes, then I know you will like this seasonal spin I put on crepes by adding pumpkin directly into the batter and infusing them with pumpkin spice cheese. You can get as creative as you’d like when it comes to topping them too! I topped mine with cranberries, banana slices, pumpkin seeds, a little drizzle of melted chocolate and a dusting of powdered sugar “snow”.
These pumpkin crepes with Alouette pumpkin spice cheese make the perfect weekend breakfast. To me, breakfast on a Saturday or Sunday is the perfect time to take things a little bit slower, really enjoy that cup of coffee, and make something extra special and delicious. Time like this is important all year long, but especially important this time of year when weekends can quickly fill up with holiday activities and it can feel like we barely have a moment for ourselves.
Alouette cheese can go way beyond the charcuterie board as an ingredient in recipes this holiday season that adds a smooth and creamy texture with a fresh pure taste. Their cheese is also made with rBST free milk and no antibiotics. Not everyone does it, but Alouette perfected the flavor of pumpkin overall too!
The taste of pumpkin spice in the Alouette cheese complements the tart yet savory taste of the crepes. I also love this cheese simply paired with crackers as a fun party snack.

Garlic & herb was a instant hit at my Thanksgiving this year!
There’s a million things you could put into crepes both sweet and savory, but it shouldn’t surprise you that I think “pumpkin style” is the way to go. Grab this crepe pan to help achieve a perfectly shaped and thin crepe. It also makes a great gift for the foodie in your family who is always trying new recipes!
