Ingredients
4 large Eggs (room temperature)
4 oz (115g) Cream cheese (softened)
1 tbsp Melted butter (plus extra for greasing the pan)
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
1 tbsp Zero-calorie granulated sweetener (optional)
Pinch of salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Blend Batter: Add eggs, softened cream cheese, melted butter, vanilla extract, sweetener, and salt into a blender. Blend on high for 30 to 45 minutes seconds until completely smooth and frothy. Let batter rest for 2 minutes.
2. Heat Pan: Heat a 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat with butter.
3. Pour & Swirl: Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter into the center of the pan, tilting immediately in a circular motion to coat the bottom thinly and evenly.
4. Cook: Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges release easily from the pan and the bottom turns light golden.
5. Flip: Gently slide a thin spatula under the crepe, flip carefully, and cook the second side for another 30 to 45 seconds.
6. Roll & Serve: Plate the crepes, fill with your favorite low-sugar or sugar-free fillings, roll tightly, and enjoy!
Chef’s Tips
Keep Heat Medium-Low: Because there is no flour to structure the batter, cooking over lower heat prevents the crepes from burning or tearing.
Rest the Batter: Letting the blended batter rest for 2 to 3 minutes allows the foam to settle for smoother crepes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I store leftovers in the fridge?
Yes! Layer parchment paper between leftover crepes so they don’t stick together, seal in an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat for 10 seconds in the microwave.
