Roasted Balsamic Cherry and Goat Cheese Crêpes

If you were to ask me what my favorite fruit is at any given time, I'd likely say whatever fruit happened to be in front of me. But I do have a special weakness for sweet cherries when they're in season — plump, firm, sweet and so bold and striking in flavor, I buy large bags full of them as often as I can for snacks, breakfasts and treats.

This time around, I've tossed them in balsamic vinegar and roasted them in preparation for a crêpe filling. Roasting softens the cherries and deepens the flavor into almost a cherry pie filling taste without the sugar, and the balsamic vinegar further intensifies the flavor by lending it something like the taste of a robust red wine — definitely not vinegary! Combine with toasted almonds and tangy soft goat cheese and roll up in a soft, light and chewy crêpe and you have a sweet and savory treat that's perfect for brunch or lunch.

The crêpes themselves — adapted slightly from Joanne at Eats Well With Others — are quick and simple, and work out perfectly every time into a soft, light and easily rollable or foldable crêpes that are ideal for filling or stuffing. They're also unsweetened, and are a great crêpe for any savory or dessert idea.
