Gigi’s Crepes

If you are looking for a recipe that is different than your typical plain egg breakfast yet easy and delicious, this crepes with cream cheese topping may be it for you. It is filled with beneficial fats (eggs,butter, raw whole milk, creamcheese).

One of the foods we got to enjoy and fell in love with when in Italy and France over the summer were Crepes. Man, do the French know how to make Crepes. One day my daughter and her friend Gianna decided to make Crepes with Cream cheese topping for breakfast. Instead of making it with regular flour, they made it with this gluten free baking flour.  The result was a light and delicious breakfast.

You can spread some “Nutella” guilt free and curled up the crepe to form a tube and enjoy.

4. Pour batter (usually about 2 TBSP) onto the preheated pan. Tilt pan side to side to allow batter to spread.

Recipe Notes

Dairy products and eggs contain a wealth of vital nutrients that can help support health. Not only are they protein-rich foods, but they also deliver concentrated amounts of vitamins such as D, B2, B12 K and biotin as well as minerals like calcium, selenium, iodine and phosphorus.
