Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I love crepes, but cannot afford the high carbohydrate content. I've worked on this recipe for a while to get it as low as possible. I discovered Bob's Red Mill Low-Carb Baking Mix which really helped, and it works well. This product is available at health food stores, or on-line. I also use the Ideal Brand Xylitol sweetener instead of Splenda, but either will work. Hope all of you enjoy this. They are quick to put together and make an elegant breakfast or brunch dish. Feel free to double the recipe if you want to serve more than two. Also, try using other fruit - peaches, blueberries, even oranges and marmalade, with a complementary preserve.

The creamy cheese filling is just as delightful as the subtly sweet crepe. Oh, and they're pretty as a picture too!

How To Make low carb breakfast crepes with cheese filling

  • 1
    Beat together egg and egg white until light and fluffy. Beat in cream, salt, and a few drops vanilla.
  • 2
    Stir baking powder into baking mix, and add to egg mixture. Beat well, scraping sides of bowl to incorporate all the grains of the baking mix. Let batter rest.
  • 3
    Blend together the softened cream cheese, yogurt, sugar substitute (Splenda or Xylitol), and a few drops of vanilla until smooth and well mixed.
  • 4
    Place fruit and preserves in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds on high. Stir until smooth.
  • 5
    To cook crepes: Spray a crepe pan or 10-inch non-stick skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. When hot, pour half the crepe batter into pan, tilting pan so batter thinly covers the bottom of the pan. Lower heat to medium low. Cook until top starts to dry out. Carefully turn crepe over, using a large, thin spatula. Cook other side briefly and remove to serving plate. Cook remaining batter in the same way.
  • 6
    To assemble crepes: Spoon half of cheese mixture over each crepe and roll up. Top with half of preserves/fruit mixture. Serve immediately.
