Polish naleśniki (nah-lesh-NEE-kee) are crepe-like pancakes that can be made thin, as in this recipe, or as a thick Polish crepe. They can be enjoyed with either sweet or savory fillings. Every Eastern European country has its version of pancakes or crepes. such as Croatian palačinke, Serbian palacinke, Polish naleśniki,​ and Hungarian palacsinta.

Once filled and rolled, they can be baked or pan-fried. Another variation is to dip them in beaten egg and breadcrumbs before frying or baking.

Fillings can be as simple as your favorite jam, preserves, or fresh fruit such as berries. Spread them with some Nutella and add banana slices. You can also make a sweet cheese filling using farmers cheese and cream cheese sweetened with sugar and vanilla. You can top them with a fruit compote or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce. Cream cheese also lends itself to savory fillings, especially when flavored with onions, garlic, or herbs.

Enjoy these crepes for breakfast or brunch. Making a platter of them will please your guests.
