Breakfast: Crepes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese and Strawberry Sauce

Breakfast: Crepes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese and Strawberry Sauce

I recently started getting sick after I eat eggs. Scrambled, panfried, whatever, they make me feel like hurling. Eggs are the best thing to eat for breakfast when you're following a low-carb lifestyle, so I felt utterly stuck when it comes to breakfasts. One day I was craving a sweet breakfast, so I made this fruity, creamy "crepe" using a thin, low carb tortilla that I get from Wegmans. It's very delicious, but I'd suggest having a side of bacon with it to keep you satisfied for longer.



Serving size: 1

1 Tumaro's Low in Carb Wrap (multi-grain has only 4g net carbs per tortilla)
2 oz. (1/4th brick) cream cheese
2 packets splenda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3-4 fresh strawberries, sliced
1/4 c. Marzetti sugar free strawberry glaze (optional)
1 tbsp. Kerrygold butter

1. Melt the butter in a pan large enough to fit the tortilla.
2. In a microwavable bowl, mix cream cheese, splenda, and cinnamon and microwave until cream cheese is soft and stir-able.
3. In another bowl, combine sliced strawberries and glaze and warm in microwave until strawberries are soft.
4. Fry the tortilla in butter on both sides.
5. Place the cream cheese mixture down the middle of the tortilla.
6. Pour about half of the strawberry glaze on top of the cream cheese mixture. Fold both sides of the tortilla towards the center and remove from heat. Plate.
7. Pour remaining strawberry glaze on top.
8. Top with whipped cream if you want. Serve with a delicious side of bacon. Enjoy. :)
