Breakfast Crepes with Scrambled Eggs, Kale & Fontina Cheese {from Contributor Angela}

Crepes are amazing!!! They take a little time to make a batch but it is all worth it in the end. If you’ve never had, crepes are a very thin pancake like batter. They can served simply with a little powdered sugar, stuffed with something sweet or something savory and they are always delicious!

Last weekend my 6 year old requested crepes for breakfast and I was happy to make them because I equally love them. The boys, they had the crepes rolled with peanut butter and jelly while I wanted something a little healthier. I am super blessed to have a garden that has been doing very well and I happened to have lots of garden fresh kale on hand. So I figured why not do some scrambled eggs and throw in some cheese as well. The result, delicious!

A while back I went ahead and treated myself to an electric griddle crepe maker. They are pretty inexpensive and making a crepe on them is really fun!!! No worries though you can absolutely make a delicious crepe in a regular non stick pan too!

Ingredients:

For the Crepes:

• 1½ cups flour
• 2 eggs
• ⅛ tsp baking soda
• 2½ cups milk
• 2 Tbsp powdered sugar

For the Filling:

• olive oil
• a large bunch of kale, roughly chopped
• a dozen eggs
• shredded fontina cheese

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients for the crepe batter together. Whisk until well combined and smooth. Allow the batter to settle for at least 15 minutes.
2. To cook the crepes, warm a large non stick pan over medium low heat. Spray with non stick spray and pour about ⅓ cup of the batter to the center of the pan. Immediately rotate the pan until the batter is spread out thin and evenly.
3. They cook quickly. Once very lightly browned flip the crepe over using a flexible spatula and cook on the other side again until just lightly golden.
4. Place the crepe on a plate and cover with foil as you continue cooking the remaining crepes to keep them warm.
5. As the crepes are cooking you can go ahead and heat a large pan over medium high heat, add a few drizzles of olive oil and the kale. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook the kale until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
6. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, season with salt and pepper. Pour into a pan over medium low heat. Cook through, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
7. To assemble, lay a crepe down, to the center of the crepe add some of the scrambled egg, kale and fontina cheese and roll it up.
8. Serve with fresh fruit of sliced tomato.

Enjoy!!!
