LOW-CARB SAVORY BREAKFAST CREPES
What a delicious way to fix eggs for every day or for company! I load them with good-for-you veggies, too. Feel free to add ham or bacon to the egg mixture. You could also add other favorite low-carb veggies like zucchini or yellow squash. I have a light appetite and use this recipe for two people. That saves two more crepes for another day to use for a different breakfast, or to use for dessert with berries and cream after dinner.

Steps:
- Combine cream cheese, eggs, almond flour, and almond milk in a blender. Blend until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Pour in 3 tablespoons of crepe batter and swirl until it covers the bottom of the skillet. Cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate to cool and cover with parchment paper or a paper towel. Repeat until you have cooked 4 crepes.
- Cook pepper and onion in the same skillet until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and mushrooms and cook until spinach is slightly wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs; season with salt and pepper. Scramble until eggs reach desired consistency, about 2 minutes. Top with Cheddar cheese.
- To assemble the crepe: Place scrambled egg mixture down the center of 2 crepes and fold over from each side. Reserve remaining crepes for later use.

LOW CARB CREPES
I love crepes, and I got very tired of eggs for breakfast after going low-carb. These are best with savory ingredients (because of the buckwheat), but you could fill with berries and sugar-free whipped cream instead.

Steps:
- Whisk all ingredients together.
- Heat crepe pan or skillet on medium high heat. Oil pan with non-stick spray or butter.
- Measure 1/4 cup of batter into pan and swirl into a large circle, until batter no longer runs. Cook on first side until top appears dry and edges pull away from pan easily.
- Flip carefully, then cook on second side until lightly browned, being careful not to burn. Serve immediately. Oil the pan in between each crepe.
- If desired, fillings can be added right after first flipping the crepe. Spread shredded cheese and sliced ham or turkey across the surface. Cheese should be just melted as the second side is finished cooking. Fold in half to serve.

Steps:
- Beat together egg and egg white until light and fluffy. Beat in cream, salt, and a few drops vanilla.
- 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.
- Blend together the softened cream cheese, yogurt, sugar substitute (Splenda or Xylitol), and a few drops of vanilla until smooth and well mixed.
- Place fruit and preserves in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds on high. Stir until smooth.
- 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.
- To assemble crepes: Spoon half of cheese mixture over each crepe and roll up. Top with half of preserves/fruit mixture. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in these crepes, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
- Don't overfill the crepes: When you're filling the crepes, don't overfill them or they'll be difficult to fold and seal. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1/4 cup of filling per crepe.
- Cook the crepes over medium heat: If you cook the crepes over too high heat, they'll burn before they have a chance to cook through. Medium heat is ideal for cooking crepes.
- Serve the crepes immediately: Crepes are best served immediately after they're made. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave them for a few seconds or warm them up in a skillet over low heat.
Conclusion:
These low-carb breakfast crepes with cheese filling are a delicious and satisfying way to start your day. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite fillings. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy breakfast, give these crepes a try!
