Yield: 10 to 12 crepes

Ingredients

  1. 12 slices uncured peppered turkey bacon
  2. 6 chicken apple sausages
  3. 6 large eggs
  4. 1 1/2 cups rice milk
  5. 3 tablespoons raw cane sugar
  6. 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  7. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  8. Pinch of kosher salt
  9. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free pastry flour
  10. 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  11. Pure maple syrup, for serving
  12. 1 jar 100 percent fruit strawberry jelly
  13. 1 jar 100 percent fruit blueberry jelly
  14. Bananas, for serving
  15. Mandarin oranges or clementines, such as Cuties, for serving

Instructions

  1. For the bacon and sausage: Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot. Throw in 6 slices of bacon and cook until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining bacon. Keep warm.
  2. Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat until hot. Add the sausages and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Keep warm.
  3. For the crepes: Crack the eggs in a blender pitcher and add the milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Turn the blender on low to combine, then turn the speed up to medium. With the blender running, slowly add the flour and blend until combined.
  4. Grease 2 crepe pans with 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil and set over medium-high heat until hot. Pour some batter into each pan, move it around and cook each crepe on the first side until the batter bubbles up and the underside is brown, about 1 minute. Using a long, thin, flexible spatula, scoop up the crepes and flip. Cook until golden on the second side, about 1 minute (be aware the second side usually cooks faster than the first). Serve the crepes immediately (or put on a plate in a 200 degree F oven to keep warm) and continue with the remaining batter, adding coconut oil to the pans as needed.
  5. Heat the maple syrup in a saucepan over low heat, then pour into a pitcher for serving. Serve the crepes with the warm syrup, strawberry and blueberry jelly, bananas, mandarin oranges, bacon and sausages.

These were okay. I like that rice milk is used and gluten free flour…HOWEVER I gave the recipe 3 stars because the batter must rest an hour before you make crepes so that the crepes are nice and tender. These were a bit tough. After it rested the hour they were better. Why the turkey bacon, jelly and the chicken sausages?? Why would you care about gluten and dairy but then serve jelly (full of sugar) and the two poultry components? The oranges and bananas are a disconnect and really don’t belong in the dish. This could really be improved. One of the better recipes that she has though.

I love these! A much lighter start to the weekend breakfast than traditional pancakes. Rolling a few up with fruit inside and a little drizzle of maple syrup on top, I tell our daughter it’s a French burrito. Yum Marilu!

Made these this morning in my Ninja blender – so easy and tasty!  I can see these can be used for lunch and dinner too with savory fillings.  This one is a keeper!
