Low Carb Cheese Blintzes
Written by Kimmer on 12/16/09
Makes 10
Egg White Crepes
10 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon salt
16 teaspoon cinnamon
Cheese Filling
16 oz 2% cottage cheese, drained
4 oz ricotta cheese
1/4 cup light sour cream
3 packets Splenda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/16 teaspoon salt
Davinci blueberry sugar free syrup
Place cottage cheese in a mesh strainer sieve inside a large bowl and let drain in the refrigerator overnight. Discard the liquid (whey). Don't skip this step or you'll have watery crepe filling.
Crepes
Treat a heavy 8" nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat on medium low. Pour in 2 tablespoons of egg mixture and tilt to cover bottom of the pan with a thin coating. When the sides start to crisp up, carefully flip for 5 seconds and remove to a warm plate.
Filling
Add drained cottage cheese, ricotta, sour cream, Splenda, vanilla and salt to a blender. Blend until the filling is smooth, about 2 minutes.
Place a crepe on a work surface with cooked side up. Place 1/10 of cheese filling about 1 1/2 inches from the top of the crepe. Fold top edge of the crepe over the filling and fold both sides inward to enclose the cheese. Roll the crepe over to seal the filling in.
Treat nonstick skillet with cooking spray and fry the blintzes on both sides until the filling is hot and brown spots appear on the crepe, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drizzle with blueberry syrup and enjoy!
Tip: Add fresh blueberries to syrup for non-low carbers.

Personally, I am recommitting to my attempt at healthy living. What better time to start than the New Year? If you are planning a wedding and have a beautiful white dress to wear, and want to drop a few pounds, join me. I heave read, do not remember where, that those with support are more likely to stick to a weight loss plan. Whatever you choose to follow, good luck!!!!
Best Wishes,
Tiffany
