Begin by preparing the crepe batter. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, eggs, milk, water, and salt until smooth. Stir in the melted butter and mix until well combined.
Cover the batter and let it rest for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator. This resting time helps the flour particles to absorb the liquid, resulting in a softer crepe.
Meanwhile, prepare the cheese filling. In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and egg yolk. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray or grease with cooking oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the skillet and tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges are dry and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Place about 2 tablespoons of cheese filling onto each crepe. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll from one end to the other to enclose it completely.
Heat a bit more butter in the skillet over medium heat. Place the filled blintzes seam-side down and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh fruit, a dollop of sour cream, or sugar-free syrup if desired.
