Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

******** CREPES ********** -black pepper to taste
1 c Cold water 2 ts Margarine
1 c Cold nonfat milk Tomato slices for garnish
1 Egg ****SWEET CHEESE FILLING****
4 Egg whites 3/4 c Low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 ts Salt (or less) 2 oz Neufchatel cheese (light
2 c Sifted all-purpose flour -cream cheese)
2 tb Vegetable oil 2 ts Vanilla
*****HERB-CHEESE FILLING**** 2 ts Freshly squeezed lemon juice

ds Basil 1 c Berries or sliced fruit in
ds Chopped fresh parsley -season
Salt and freshly ground

FOR CREPES: Put cold water, milk, egg, egg whites and salt into
blender; add flour, then oil. Blend at top speed, stopping to scrape flour
from the sides.
Cover and refrigerate 2 hours. (This is an important step; it allows
the flour particles to expand in the liquid and ensures a tender, thin
crepe. The batter should have a very light, creamy texture - just thick
enough to coat a wooden spoon.)
For each crepe, heat a 6-inch nonstick frying pan over moderately high
heat. When hot, pour a scant 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet;
immediately rotate pan until batter covers bottom. Cook until light brown;
turn and brown the other side. Slide onto a warm plate and proceed in the
same manner with the rest of the batter.
Put waxed paper between the crepes as you stack them. Keep crepes
covered to prevent them from drying out. They are now ready to be filled.
Makes 20 - 6 inch crepes. 1 crepe = 1 servng.
