Recipe
Low Carb Flourless Crepes - Sweet or Savory
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoon half and half
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- non-stick cooking spray
For the maple whipped cream:
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
For the balsamic glaze:
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, half and half, and olive oil. Whisk until smooth.
- On medium-low heat, place a 10" non-stick skillet that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. (Adjust heat to slightly above or below medium if necessary.)
- Pour ¼ cup of the egg batter into your pre-heated skillet and swirl the pan evenly until you've coated the bottom with a thin layer of crepe batter. (Add more batter to fill if any holes appear.)
- Cover the pan and cook the crepe batter until it begins to set, which will take 2-3 minutes. Don't overcook it!
- After the batter is set, use a silicon spatula to (gently) loosen the edges and flip your crepe. Be careful and make sure you don't break or tear the crepe. Cook for an additional minute and then remove the crepe.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Fill each crepe with your desired filling (keep the filling in the middle of the crepe) and fold over both sides to cover the filling. Serve immediately.
To Make Maple Whipped Cream (for sweet crepes):
- Pour 1 pint of heavy whipping cream into a large glass bowl. Using a hand or immersion blender, blend the whipping cream until it changes texture and is twice the size.
- Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup into the bowl and continue to mix gently until the whipped cream is light and fluffy.
To Make a Balsamic Glaze (for savory crepes):
- Over medium-high heat, heat one cup of high-quality balsamic vinegar until the vinegar begins to boil.
- Reduce the heat. Simmer and stir continually until the balsamic vinegar is about ⅓ of the original volume. Once the vinegar has reached a thick, syrupy consistency, it's ready to use. Cool slightly before serving.

It's more like a very thin omelet, but I get the idea and it was really tasty. So five stars from me!
