can i make crepes in advance and then reheat them?
i've never made crepes. i just got a crepe pan and will make them soon. i will make savory crepes as well as sweet, but let's use crepe suzette as an example since i intend to make them. can i make it and then reheat it in the microwave later? if no one has done it, i will try it and report my findings. Tx

Here's an article about storing (fridge, freezer) and reheating (mw, oven) crepes.

If you want to prepare crepes suzette in advance for clients, I would package the crepes frozen plain and the sauce refrigerated in a small container (box, bag) for later heating and pouring over the crepes.
To be honest, if I had leftover Crepes Suzette at home I would not throw them out, and yes eat them as reheated leftovers,
But would I serve them to guests, or recommend them, or sell them to clients?
Alas, no.
For various savoury crepes (filled or stacked), leftovers and reheating are less of a problem because the filling and crepe have already begun to intermingle or affect each other.
But for the sweet dessert crepes, especially with the fancy flambe presentation, fresh or freshly sauced is best.
More info on freezing and reheating them.
Best,
