Low-Carb Crepes for a Delicious Breakfast

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

Crepes: 2 ounces cream cheese, softened 2 eggs 1 tablespoon almond milk Eggs: ¼ cup diced yellow bell pepper 1 tablespoon diced onion ½ cup packed baby spinach leaves 2 mushrooms, sliced 2 eggs, beaten 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper 1 tablespoon grated Cheddar cheese

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by tossing the cream cheese, eggs, almond flour, and almond milk into a blender. Blend everything together until the batter is nice and smooth, which usually takes about 30 seconds to a minute.

Step 2

Next, heat up an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes. Pour in about 3 tablespoons of the batter and quickly swirl the pan around so it spreads out evenly. Cook the crepe for about a minute on each side until it’s lightly golden. Once done, transfer it to a plate and cover with some parchment paper or a paper towel to keep it from drying out. Keep going until you’ve made four crepes.

Step 3

Using the same skillet, cook the pepper and onion until the onions turn translucent, around 3 minutes. Then toss in the spinach and mushrooms, cooking until the spinach just starts to wilt, about 2 to 3 minutes. Crack in the eggs, season with a little salt and pepper, and scramble everything together until the eggs are cooked to your liking, roughly 2 minutes. Sprinkle some Cheddar cheese on top while it’s still warm.

Step 4

To put it all together, spoon the scrambled egg mixture down the center of two crepes, then fold the sides over to enclose the filling. You can save the remaining crepes for another breakfast or snack later on.

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to improve texture.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the crepes cook through.

Why you’ll love it

These crepes are light, tasty, and perfect for anyone watching their carb intake. They cook quickly and offer a great base for both sweet and savory fillings. Plus, they keep you full without the heavy feeling of traditional pancakes.

Serving ideas

Try filling them with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream for a sweet treat. For a savory option, add cheese, spinach, or smoked salmon. They also pair well with sugar-free syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a pan or microwave with a damp paper towel to keep them soft. You can also freeze them between sheets of parchment paper for longer storage.
