Quick Bites - Apple Crêpes with Mascarpone Cream Cheese Filling

Nikoli’s Kitchen

Hello and welcome to another quick bite here in the limbo between seasons four and five! Today I'm busting out the apples and mascarpone cheese and things are going to get RICH. This makes for the perfect sweet breakfast treat to kick off your day!

Season five of the show will not be kicking off until January 2023 at the earliest. Until then, I'm working on reformatting areas of the show and making this about not just my journey, but about your journey. If something has happened in your life that has changed how you view life, and if you have something that changed your view on positivity, I want to hear from you! Please reach out to me on Instagram @nikoliskitchen or email me at [e-mail] and I'd love to sit down and chat with you.

Table for Two will return in season five as well! If you'd like to sit and talk to me about your content, your life, or whatever- all while I'm cooking your dish- please reach out via the means above with your recipe and we'll set it up.
