Savory Green Crepes
Soft and tender crepes colored with a bit of spinach make the base for this breakfast. Fill them with a bit of cottage cheese, roasted or fresh tomatoes, and plenty of fresh herbs. A few slices of avocado add another layer of creamy richness. Vary the herbs to vary the flavor profile. Basil would be excellent here. You can also change up the vegetables. A few sautéed mushrooms and/or asparagus would be another delicious version. This is inspired from Jamie Oliver.

Ingredients
Crepes
- 2 ounces low-fat cottage cheese 1/4 cup
- 1/2 tablespoon gelatin
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup egg white or whey protein powder sugar-free, unsweetened
- 1 ounce spinach fresh or frozen
- 1/3 cup cashew or almond milk beverage or coconut beverage for nut-free
- pinch of salt
Filling
- 1/2 avocado sliced or diced
- 4 ounces cherry tomatoes quartered
- 3 1/2 ounces baby spinach optional
- 2 green onions sliced thin
- 1/4 cup cilantro roughly torn
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2/3 cup low-fat cottage cheese
Instructions
- Add all crepe ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes to rehydrate.
- While the crepe batter rehydrates, stir together the avocado, tomatoes, spinach, green onions, and cilantro in a bowl. Sprinkle with the lime juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set filling aside.
- Heat a small non-stick saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add a bit of avocado or coconut oil to the pan and use a paper towel to spread it evenly over the entire surface.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl it to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook until set and edges can be lifted, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook second side until browned, another minute.
- Fill crepes with cottage cheese and top with reserved filling. Sprinkle with more fresh herbs, if desired.
Notes
You can also roast the tomatoes. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and add the tomatoes. Toss with a bit of avocado oil and salt and broil on low for 5-8 minutes, or until lightly charred.
