1. Nutella Berry Crepes.
Ingredients
· 3 eggs· 4 tablespoons cream cheese
· Nutella· Assorted berries
Method· Put the eggs and cream cheese in a bowl and whisk until the cream cheese becomes a homogenous mixture with the egg.
· Turn your stove on to 350°F, about medium-high, and coat a frying pan in olive oil.· Pour 3 spoonfuls of the mixture into the frying pan.
· When the bottom side of the crepe is hard and a deep yellow color (or a little brown if you want to be safe), flip it over. Once both sides have cooked, remove the crepe from the pan and put on a plate.· Repeat the process until the mix has run out.
· Spread one half of the crepe with Nutella, top with berries and then fold the other side over it.Recipe Courtesy: Spoon University
