    These crepes taste just like my favorite cheese blintzes! I made this recipe years and years ago and then sadly lost the recipe. I halved the recipe for the two of us, following the clear instructions with perfect results! I confess to leaving out the almonds, since I prefer the filling to be smooth and creamy without the chunky nuts. It's great to make this dish ahead and then pop in the oven in the morning for a very special brunch. DH and I were in heaven eating this, and now that the recipe is in my cookbook to stay, I won't lose it again! We thank you a bunch Chef Mommie for posting this recipe!

    I made the Crepes today for a very special afternoon break. There were absolutley delicious. I followed the directions and the crepes were wonderful in taste and so easy to make. The filling is not too sweet and the cottage cheese adds some freshness, whereas the orange zest give a fruity touch, which balance well the almonds and blueberries. The blueberry sauce - alos very easy to make - was a hit. Fruity, not too sweet and with full of all the bluebrry flavours. I used fresh and put some aside for decoration. The toasted almonds again reflect the flavour of the crepes and the roasting emphasizes the nutty notes. The flavours in this crepes recipe are very well balanced, not flavour dominates the others. A dessert, which will receive rave reviews, because it is easy, elegant and delicious. Thanks for sahring.
