Ingredients
- 2 ounce cream cheese
- 2 large raw egg
- 0.12 teaspoon salt
- 1 package stevia leaf noncaloric sweetener (green packet)
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon butter
- 6 tablespoon ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup, cut pieces spinach
- 0.12 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by combining the cream cheese, eggs, first amount of salt, stevia, and almond flour in a food processor or bullet blender. Pulse carefully, as this is a very liquid-y batter. Transfer the crepe batter into a pouring vessel for the next step. You should have about 1 c. of batter (photo shows a doubled recipe at 2 cups).
- Grab an 8-inch skillet or a skillet with a similar diameter to the crepes you will be making. A non-stick skillet will be best. Heat the skillet on a medium heat, then use a stick of butter to quickly coat the skillet (approx. ¼ tsp butter). Pour just over an ⅛ cup of the batter into the hot skillet.
- Pick the skillet off the heat, and rotate it so the batter spreads into a wide circle. Return the skillet to the heat. You can use a spatula to quickly reshape the crepe if needed.
- Let the crepe cook until the edges turn golden brown. It should only cook for about 10 seconds. Then, flip the crepe to finish cooking.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate or clean surface. Repeat steps 2-4 until all crepes are cooked. You may need to adjust the heat as you go on to avoid burning.
- Allow the crepes to cool.Meanwhile, prepare the filling by combing the remaining ingredients in a bowl. You can use the back of a spoon to smear and break up the ricotta cheese. If you want the filling warm, you may always microwave the filling for 30-60 seconds without letting the ricotta become loose.
- Place a single crepe down on a flat surface. Spoon about ⅙ of the ricotta filling down the center of the crepe.
- Fold the crepe like you would a burrito – fold over one long edge, then fold in the two shorter edges, and finally roll the crepe into the last long edge. Repeat this process until all crepes are filled.
- Enjoy warm!
