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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

To serve, arrange the blintzes on plates, top with fresh sliced strawberries, and drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve warm.
