Maximally Eggy Crepes

food, kids
Before our oldest went lactovegetarian I used to make eggy crepes, boosting protein by adjusting the recipe to maximize egg content without giving up crepe flavor and texture. With our youngest, however, I have now (by this metric) the optimal crepe:

Ingredient:

  • One egg, beaten

I had been making crepes for Anna and lactovegetarian crepes (milk, flour, flax) for Lily. I would ask Nora what she wanted, and she preferred Anna-style. "Eggy eggy eggy!" I started asking if she would like them more eggy, and she was very enthusiastic. Over time I reduced the non-egg ingredients until it was entirely egg, and she continued to be a fan. It initially surprising to me that Nora wanted to go all the way in this direction, but since sweet omelettes are a thing it probably shouldn't have been.

She usually eats them with nutella and raspberry sauce, and sometimes whipped cream.
