Berry Crepes with Turkey Bacon

This is knock off of one of my favorite things to order at First Watch...except mine don't come with a huge muffin on the side.

The recipe for the crepes came from Weight Watchers' New Complete Cookbook.

Crepes
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 whole eggs
1 cup milk

Then I added 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1 packet of splenda because I'm making a sweet recipe. I imagine you can put all kinds of seasonings into the crepe recipe depending on what you're doing with them!

First, mix all the dry ingredients, the flour, salt and seasonings in a bowl. One that holds at least a few cups.

Then whisk the eggs and milk together until well blended in another bowl. Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients' bowl and whisk until well combined. L

Leave sit for at least 15 minutes (great to make ahead and refrigerate for a couple hours, or even overnight!) Stir it again right before you're ready to start cooking.

Then when ready, pour by scant 1/4 cups into a hot skillet sprayed with cooking spray. You may need to turn the skillet and use the spatula to keep it all together in a circle or something resembling it.

You may get some strange shapes. I think instead of tea leaves you could read fortunes by crepe batter shapes. "This looks like the state of Minnesota. I see traveling in your future!"

Anyway, when the batter seems to be done on one side (it kind of changes color and bubbles stop popping), flip it carefully and then cook on the other side for 30 seconds or so.

You don't have to serve these hot, in fact its better if they sit a bit. So make the a little ahead and refrigerate or even freeze between pieces of wax paper.

Or as I did, get the done then take a little break to calm a child down from a fit finish the rest of dinner!

To make them as I did here, fill them with fresh berries (strawberries and blueberries here), then top with yogurt. I used Yoplait Light Triple Berry Torte flavor. Then top with 2 Tbsp of granola. This is Bear Naked Vanilla Almond.

Serve with 3 pieces of turkey bacon. You'll get about 8 crepes fro the batch so 4 servings of two each is a very nice meal. (I gave the kids a 'deconstructed' version. They ate the berries and the bacon and gave the crepes to the dog...sigh)

The crepes are about 60 calories each. 60 calories for the granola, about 75 for the fruit, 50 for the yogurt (3 oz). So the crepes are about 305 calories and the bacon 90.

Total for the meal: 395 calories! (WW friends, its 8 P+ for the crepes and 2 for the bacon)

So good you may have to watch out for little fingers snatching granola :)
