These light and airy crepes are filled with a creamy lemon filling made from a mixture of cream cheese, sugar, and fresh lemon juice. The tartness of the filling is perfectly balanced by a simple blueberry compote made from fresh berries, sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract.

To round out the episode, Ree also makes her family-favorite recipe for Cinnamon-Raisin French Toast Casserole. This recipe is a great option for a leisurely weekend breakfast or brunch, but it can easily be made for a quick and satisfying dinner as well. The bread is soaked in a custard mixture made from eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and cinnamon, then topped with a crumbly streusel mixture made from flour, brown sugar, and butter. A few handfuls of raisins add a sweet, chewy texture to the dish that's hard to resist.
