Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup 2% cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425℉.
  • To prepare the savory filling, toss the diced butternut squash in olive oil, salt, and thyme and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • To prepare the filling, place the cottage cheese and maple syrup in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To make the crepes, add the cottage cheese and ¼ cup of water to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.

  • Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a bowl and whisk in the eggs, melted butter, and maple syrup. Alternatively, you can make everything in your blender, which worked great, too.

  • Slowly add the flour and salt to the cottage cheese mixture. The batter should have the consistency of a very thin pancake batter. If it is not thin enough add the remaining water 1 tablespoon at a time.

  • Spray a crepe pan with cooking spray and heat over low heat. Add ¼ cup of batter to the pan. Pick up the pan and slowly swirl the batter around the pan so that the batter spreads evenly, making a larger crepe. Cook for 1 minute, flip, and cook for another 20-30 seconds. Set on a plate. Continue until you have used all of the batter.

  • To assemble the crepes fold the crepe in half, add 2 tablespoons of maple cottage cheese and sliced strawberries to one-half of the half. Fold in half again so that you have a triangle-shaped crepe. Top with maple syrup, and serve.

Notes

  • This recipe makes 12 6-inch crepes.
  • A nonstick pan is key to making these crepes. We tried using a cast iron skillet but needed significantly more oil and the crepes were significantly browned in the cooking process. To make in a nonstick pan with sides, add ¼ cup of batter to the pan and use an offset spatula to spread the crepe to a larger size.
