Way to use eggs for low carb recipes
I am digging eggs as substitutes for many things. I use them as a pizza base (pepperoni pizza frittata), as lasagna noodles (low carb lasagna), as noodles (sausage & egg noodles), as wraps (turkey & herb wrap) and now as crepes.
How to make savory low carb crepes
These egg crepes are very easy to make and great for savory dishes. All you need is two frying pans, eggs and cooking spray.
- Heat both a small frying pan and another larger frying pan on medium heat. Spray both with cooking spray.
- Then beat one egg and add to the smaller pan. Swirl in pan so the egg is covering the whole surface.
- When it’s almost cooked, loosen the edges with a spatula and then flip over the pan, into the larger pan to cook for a minute.
- Repeat to make more crepes. This whole process will take only a few minutes.
Now to make the rest of the recipe.

These look wonderful and by the ingredients I know they will be! We used to have crescent chicken with those tasty Pillsbury crescent rolls. I miss them! I am going to do these with a mix of cream cheese and chicken with seasonings to put inside. I tried egg crepes one time, but the top didn’t cook – brilliant to flip them into another pan! Thank you for this great recipe!
