Instructions
1
Start by preparing your crepe pan with non-fat non-stick spray and warming it over medium heat.
2
In a mixing bowl, soften the Neufchatel cheese and then blend in the fat-free cottage cheese, Splenda, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and orange zest until smooth. Set this mixture aside.
3
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg until light and fluffy. Add the skim milk and continue to whisk until well combined.
4
Gradually stir in the Swedish pancake mix, ensuring the batter is mixed thoroughly and is free of lumps.
5
Pour a small amount of the batter into the heated crepe pan. Tilt the pan gently to spread the batter evenly, creating a thin layer.
6
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the underside is lightly golden. Carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional minute.
7
Once cooked, slide the crepe onto a plate and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the center. Roll or fold the crepe as desired.

Top the crepe with sugar-free jam and enjoy your delightful breakfast!
