Ingredients
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Blend Ingredients
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, combine the softened cream cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend: Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. You can also use a hand mixer or a whisk, but a blender tends to create a smoother batter.
Rest the Batter
- Rest: Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes. This helps the bubbles to settle, resulting in better crepes.
Preheat Pan
- Heat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. You can lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or oil, but the batter usually contains enough fat to prevent sticking.
Cook the Crepes
- Pour Batter: Pour a small amount of the batter into the center of the hot pan, swirling it around to spread it thinly and evenly. You want to make a thin layer.
- Cook: Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
Flip and Cook
- Flip Crepe: Gently flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Repeat
- Repeat Process: Repeat the process with the remaining batter, making sure to stir the batter slightly before pouring each crepe, as it may settle as it sits.
Serve
- Add Fillings: Fill your keto crepes with your choice of fillings. You can go for sweet options like sugar-free whipped cream, berries, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup. For a savory option, try filling with scrambled eggs, cheese, and cooked bacon.
- Enjoy: Roll up or fold the crepes and enjoy your delicious keto-friendly treat!
Tips for Perfect Crepes
- The first crepe might not turn out perfectly, as it often serves as a “test” for the pan temperature and batter consistency. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to make thin, delicate keto crepes for any meal of the day!
- Stir the batter slightly before pouring each crepe, as it may settle as it sits.
How to Freeze Crepes
- Cool Completely: Allow the crepes to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Layer with Parchment Paper: Place a piece of parchment paper between each crepe to prevent them from sticking together.
- Store: Stack the crepes and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: To reheat, thaw the crepes in the refrigerator overnight and then warm them in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
