This breakfast dish has just 4-ingredients!

- Breakfast sausage: I used a spicy breakfast sausage but choose any sausage you like.

How to Make Sunny Side Up Egg Crepes
Just three simple steps!
Oven Baked Method
- Fill the Crepes: Add the ingredients and make a small indentation in the center and crack an egg into the indentation.
- Fold: Fold the crepe edges inward to make a square. Some crepes that are not soft and pliable may require a toothpick to hold them together.
- Bake: Baked until the eggs are cooked as you like.
Don’t forget to break the egg yolk and let it melt all over the crepe!
Skillet Method
The oven baked method is great for making the crepes in batches while the skillet method is the traditional French way of making crepes and is best for one or two crepes.
Simply fill and fold the crepes then transfer the crepe to a buttered skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 3 minutes or until eggs are cooked as you like.
