Yeah Baby, MORE CREPES! What else can I say? I’m still at it. (Check out some of our previous crepe filling posts. And also, brush up on how not hard it is to make crepes.)
This delicious filling boasts a whole lot of gustatory adjectives: sweet, bitter, savory, crunchy, chewy, cheesy — plus it’s nutritious and colorful, too. Hey, did you know that Parmesan cheese is the number one most umami-rich food? A smart friend told me this, so it must be true. Pass it along.

- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ pounds butternut squash, diced (¼" to ½")

- Remove squash from skillet and add to serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle walnuts and cheese on top.
- You can mix up all the ingredients and fill the crepes before serving, or just bring the filling to the table and let guests roll their own.
