Toasted pecans and browned butter give these delicate crepes a deep nuttiness. Delicata are small squash and I usually plan on one per person plus one extra when I serve them. This is a nice dish for dinner parties because the components can be made ahead of time and assembled right before dinner.

Cooks' Note

To make browned butter, heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small pan over medium-high heat until the foaming subsides and it has become slightly browned. Keep an eye on it so it does not burn. You will have about 2 tablespoons browned butter.
