Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and fine sea salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the whole milk, melted butter, pure vanilla extract, and the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest at room temperature while you prepare the filling.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and the remaining scraped seeds of the vanilla bean until smooth and creamy.
Heat a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with melted butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the crêpe batter into the skillet and quickly swirl to spread it evenly into a thin layer.
Cook until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for about 30 seconds. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
To assemble, spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling onto each warm crêpe and fold or roll as desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate the filled crêpes and warm gently before serving.

Tips

Resting crêpe batter for at least 15 minutes improves texture and reduces bubbles during cooking.
For more pronounced vanilla flavor, use both vanilla extract in the batter and seeds from a fresh vanilla bean in the filling.
