Cookbook creator says: I can eat this for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. So yummy and filling. If you are a weight loss surgery patent make sure to soak the oats (yes even instant oats) for a minute or 2 before cooking with the eggs, believe my it will make it go down much easier. Got this from someone, I'll add who later.

I came up with this simple, sweet, breakfast option because I couldn't face eggs every morning for breakfast. The cinnamon and splenda give the cottage cheese a wonderful, sweet flavor, and the chopped almonds give it a satisfying crunch.

Large enough for two people (120 calories each)- or a filling "meal" for one... My family loves these. A great way to get your protein, dairy and fruit in one serving-- very filling! Even a friend who doesn't like cottage cheese loves this!

Original idea from Suzanne Somers.
These egg crepes are a great low-carb substitute for lasagna noodles, manicotti, cannelloni or tortillas for enchiladas.
- You can fill them with berries/unsweetened coconut/sf preserves/plain or sf yogurt for dessert crepes.

If you're making dessert crepes flavored soy milk or almond milk and citrus zest works great for the batter.
- Or stuff them with your favorite mixture of savory fillings, top with sauce and/or cheese and bake in the oven.

- I made a vegetarian filling of sauted zucchini, mushroom, onion, tomato, parmesan cheese, farmer's cheese or you can substitute with ricotta if you'd like, shallot & herbs. I filled the crepes & topped with swiss cheese & more parmesan & baked
