Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
- 4 ounces Low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (optional, for topping)
- 1 teaspoon Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, skim milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and lump-free to form the crepe batter. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, tilting it in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly and the crepe is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
In a blender or food processor, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Place a cooked crepe onto a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling into the center of the crepe and fold it into a rectangular or triangular shape, enclosing the filling. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
In a clean skillet, lightly spray with cooking spray and warm the filled blintzes over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side until warmed through.
To serve, arrange the blintzes on plates, top with fresh sliced strawberries, and drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve warm.
