1cupfresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
Instructions
Mix: Preheat oven to 375℉. In a small bowl, combine cottage cheese with maple syrup.
Spread: Lay the crepe on a flat surface. Spread 1-2 tablespoons, depending on the size of your crepe, of the cottage cheese mixture evenly on the crepe, leaving about 1-2 inches from the top.
Roll: Carefully, fold over the side with most cottage cheese and roll it tightly to create a cylinder shape.
Bake: Transfer the rolled crepe onto an oval or rectangular baking dish. Repeat with the remaining crepes. Top the crepes with slices of butter and bake for 15 minutes until warmed and crispy.
Top: Dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh berries. Enjoy as is or drizzle maple syrup.
Notes
Storage: Cottage cheese-filled crepes will last in the refrigerator for up to 4 days if stored in an airtight container. Freezing is not recommended, but if you choose to do so, wrap each crepe roll individually in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. To reheat: Warm crepes in an oven-safe dish and cover with parchment paper, followed by aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Reheat in an un-preheated oven set to 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.Helpful tips:
Low fat cottage cheese will have less moisture than whole milk cottage cheese.
Spread wisely - When spreading the cottage cheese mixture, leaving space from the top will prevent the filling from spilling out when rolling.
Baking time - Keep an eye on the crepes while baking to prevent them from becoming too crispy or overcooked. The goal is to warm them and slightly crisp the edges.
Distribute the butter evenly - When topping the crepes with butter, distribute them evenly, covering the bottom layer too.
Let them rest first - Before serving, let them sit for a few minutes for the cottage cheese to firm up and the crepes to cool slightly. Then dust and top with berries.
