Called Necci in Italian, chestnut flour crepes pair excellently with sharp cheddar and toasted walnuts for a decadent, flavorful breakfast or alongside a crisp salad or bowl of soup. They would also work well with a lighter cheese like ricotta or brie, topped with a low-carb jam.
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup chestnut flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup walnuts, toasted*
Directions:
- Whisk eggs, water and chestnut flour until smooth.
- Rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a small non-stick skillet on medium. Working in batches, melt ¼ tablespoon of butter in pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter into pan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Cook until crepe lifts easily from bottom of pan, about 2 minutes.
- Using a spatula, flip to cook the reverse side.
- Add 2 tablespoons of cheese & walnuts, folding the crepe in half to melt.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
Naturally low-carb & gluten-free
* To toast walnuts, heat a non-stick skillet on medium-high. Add walnuts in a single layer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from pan to cool.
