Oh my dear friends… some mornings call for something soft, elegant, and just a little special.

These Creamy Cottage Cheese Protein Crepes Rolls were born on one of those slow, golden mornings when I wanted something comforting but lighter than cake. Something high in protein, yet delicate. Something that looks beautiful on a plate but doesn’t demand hours in the kitchen.

And let me tell you — these crepes are pure magic.

They’re thin and tender. The filling is creamy and slightly sweet. When rolled warm, the cottage cheese melts just enough to become silky. Slice them into soft spirals and drizzle with honey or maple syrup? Heaven.

This is the kind of breakfast that feels like a café treat — but made in your cozy kitchen.

Full Ingredient List (Serves 4 – About 8–10 Crepes)

PIN IT

For the Crepes

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
• 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon melted butter (plus more for pan)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

For the Creamy Cottage Cheese Filling

• 1 cup (225 g) full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional but brightens flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (for extra creaminess)

Optional Toppings

• Fresh berries
• Powdered sugar
• Maple syrup
• Toasted nuts
• Cinnamon dusting

Why Cottage Cheese?

Cottage cheese is:

• Naturally high in protein
• Creamy when blended
• Mild in flavor
• Lower in fat than many cream fillings

Blending it creates a smooth, almost cheesecake-like texture.

Tools You’ll Need

• Non-stick skillet (8–10 inch)
• Blender or food processor
• Mixing bowl
• Spatula
• Ladle
• Knife for slicing rolls

How to Make Creamy Cottage Cheese Protein Crepes Rolls

PIN IT

Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together:

• Eggs
• Milk
• Melted butter
• Sugar
• Vanilla
• Salt

Gradually whisk in flour until smooth.

The batter should be thin and pourable.

Let it rest 10–15 minutes. This relaxes the gluten and creates tender crepes.

Step 2: Cook the Crepes

Heat a lightly buttered non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Pour about ¼ cup batter into the pan.

Swirl immediately to coat evenly.

Cook 1–2 minutes until edges lift slightly.

Flip and cook 30–45 seconds more.

Stack on a plate and repeat.

Step 3: Make the Filling

Blend cottage cheese until completely smooth.

Stir in:

• Honey
• Vanilla
• Lemon zest
• Greek yogurt

Taste and adjust sweetness.

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls

Spread 2–3 tablespoons filling evenly over each crepe.

Roll gently but tightly.

Let sit for 2–3 minutes to slightly warm and soften.

Step 5: Slice & Serve

Slice each rolled crepe into 3–4 spirals.

Arrange beautifully on a plate.

Drizzle with honey or maple syrup.

Dust with powdered sugar.

Add berries for color.

And just admire how pretty they are.

What to Serve with Creamy Cottage Cheese Protein Crepes Rolls

Tips for Making Them Perfect

• Let batter rest for tenderness
