BREAKFAST CREPES
This idea makes a nice change for breakfast. Crepes are a
nice envelope for savory fillings, not just sweet fillings. Add some sausage on the side and you have a
breakfast fit for a queen! Of course,
you can use your own creative filling; mine is just a suggestion. I love adding bits of cream cheese to my scrambled eggs - try it and you will be amazed at the difference it makes.

3 oz regular cream cheese
(90 g)
4 eggs
3 tbsp gluten-free oat
flour, OR buckwheat flour (a seed, not a grain) (45 mL)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (5 mL)
Filling:
1 California avocado
Lemon juice sprinkle
8 eggs
1 tbsp whipping cream (15 mL)
1 tbsp water (15 mL)
1/2 tsp salt (2 mL)
1/4 tsp black pepper (1 mL)
1 tbsp Light-tasting olive oil (15 mL)
2 oz cream cheese (50 g)
4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1/4 cup grated Cheddar cheese (60 mL)
OR more if you like a lot of cheese
Crepes: In food processor, process cream cheese. Add eggs; process. Add oat flour, OR buckwheat flour and vanilla extract and process until smooth, scraping down the sides at least once and processing again.
Use 3 tbsp (45 mL)
batter for each crepe and a small, nonstick 6-inch (15 cm) crepe pan (inside
diameter). Tilt pan to coat with
batter. Cook over medium heat. Flip crepe when easy to slide a spatula
underneath it. Cook a few seconds on
second side. Set aside in covered
casserole dish in the oven at a low heat of 190°F (88°C). Brush pan with a little olive oil between
every other crepe or so.
Filling: Cut avocado
and remove pit. Scoop avocado completely
with a melon baller and place in small bowl. Sprinkle avocado lightly with lemon juice.
In medium bowl place
eggs. Add whipping cream, water, salt
and pepper. Beat well with a fork. In large frying pan, in olive oil, and over
medium heat, cook eggs, using a spatula to scoop and fold the eggs from time to
time until the eggs are cooked and still glossy. While the eggs are cooking add the cream
cheese in bits. At the end of cooking,
sprinkle with Cheddar cheese and top with bacon bits. Fill crepes down center and top with some
avocado. Fold crepes gently over the
fillings. Serve immediately.
