CREPE BATTER INGREDIENTS: (makes 1 large or 2 small crepes)
2 whole eggs
2 tbsp cream cheese
1 tbsp coconut or almond flour
2 tbsp almond milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon xantham gum or cream of tartar
1/8 c.  shredded Parmesan cheese


CREPE FILLINGS:

2 slices deli Turkey or ham
1/4 avocado
2 tbsp shredded cheese
Any diced tomtato, onion, bell pepper etc.. as desired.                                                                                                                                                        

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Blender: Place the eggs, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Almond milk in the blender. Blend on low until the ingredients are completely combined. With the blender running, sprinkle the coconut flour and the xanthan gum over the batter and continue blending until thick. Let the batter sit for several minutes (about 10).

  2. Prep the Pan: Put a non-stick pan over medium heat. When a drop of water sizzles and jumps across the surface, it is ready. Turn the heat down just a tiny bit and lightly brush the pan with butter. Lightly brush the spatula, too.

  3. Tilt and Swirl: Stir the batter then pour it into a 1/4 cup measure and then into the middle of the pan. Grasp the pan by the handle and begin tilting it in a circular motion to spread the batter into a circle. 

  4. Cook, Shimmy and Flip: Let the crepe cook for about 1 1/2 minutes or until the top of the crepe looks dull and the edge browns. You can touch it with your finger to see if it's still wet or just about set. Now, gently work the spatula under the edge of the crepe by shimmying it and lift the edge. With the fingers of your other hand, gently grasp the crepe and lift it a little higher while sliding the spatula under the crepe further. Flip the crepe and let it cook for about 15-20 seconds more.

  5. Fill It: While the crepe is still on the pan add the cheese and let it melt. Now remove crepe from pan and on a plate begin to finish filling your crepe with desired fillings  bacon, sausage, deli meat, avocado etc. (remember to cook your bacon and sausage first if you choose those).
