Egg White Berry Crepes

Christine Denney, the chef for the former Oaks at Ojai health spa in California, created these guest-favorite Egg White Berry Crepes, in a very unique way.  Forget the butter and flour, these just used egg whites and milk powder for a thin, light, and very spa like crepe, the perfect vehicle for your favorite berries or fruit.  As an added benefit, they are naturally low-carb, gluten-free and offer protein.  Serve them for breakfast, lunch or dinner, with a variety of ingredients.

Note: The spa closed in 2019, but guests can still enjoy these recipes.

Make these light and airy crepes for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Equally good with sweet or savory ingredients -- it's all about the filling, here.

Ingredients

• ▢ ½ cup nonfat liquid milk
• ▢ 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
• ▢ 4 whole egg whites - yolk reserved for another use

Instructions

• Combine milk, milk powder, and egg whites in a bowl and whisk to mix very well.
• Coat a crepe pan with nonstick spray and heat on low to medium until hot (a drop of water will sizzle).
• Add one ounce of crepe mixture to the pan and tilt to distribute batter evenly over the bottom of the pan.
• Cook over low heat until firm. To finish the crepe, you can carefully turn it over or brown crepe under the broiler. Turn crepe out onto baking pan to cool.

Spa Index Kitchen Notes

If you are making several, layer the crepes with waxed paper or parchment to keep crepes from sticking together. These crepes can be filled with The Oaks' own fresh jam, or fresh fruit of your choice, cut up fairly small. Strawberries with mango is delicious. Garnish with nonfat yogurt flavored either with lemon curd or a touch of agave and vanilla extract.
