How to Make Low Carb Crepes

Stir the eggs and cheese until blended with a whisk. I watch my cholesterol, therefore I only use one whole egg and just the egg white from the second egg. You can use two whole eggs, if you prefer.

Stir in ingredients with whisk until blended and smooth. Batter will be thin. Allow batter to sit a minimum of 10 minutes before cooking. (It can be made hours ahead and refrigerated.)

Spray a heavy, 8-inch, non-stick pan with non-stick olive oil and heat to medium.

Add 2 tablespoons of crepe batter to heated pan, tilting pan until it coats the bottom of pan. If batter is too thick, add a bit of half and half to remaining batter. Begin tilting pan immediatly as the crepe cooks quickly. If the batter is too thick thin with a bit of half and half to the remaining batter. Epicurean tells us that It is a custom in France to hold a coin in their hand and make a wish while touching the handle of the frying pan while turning the crepe.

Allow crepe to cook until the edges start to lift and are light brown. (Top will be dry.) You only cook one side of a crepe, and it will be easy to lift from the pan if you spray with olive oil between crepes.

Crepes can be removed easily from pan with a spatula. Notice how the cooked side of the crepe is nicely browned. This is the side you'll want on the outside of your finished crepe.

Crepes can be stacked on a plate before assembly. Refrigerate extras right away and use them within 24 - 48 hours. They usually don't stick together, but If they do for you, next time use wax paper between crepes.

Crepes can be used for many recipes and filled with vegetables, chopped or shredded meat, or other special ingredients. I fill my desert crepes with low-carb yogurt and fruit.

Once filling added, you can roll or fold the crepe around the filling and top with toppings such as sauces, gravies, whipped creme or even a light sprinkling of powdered sugar.

Fill them, make them pretty and enjoy! Each crepe is only 35 calories, 1.2 grams of fat and 2.7 grams of carbs. Fill them with the ingredients that your diet will allow. Low carb yogurt and strawberries will only add another 20 or so calories!
