Super Easy Cheese Blintzes
My boyfriend and I were making atkins pancakes this morning and suddenly I realized the thin crepes would be perfect for making some atkins-friendly blintzes. So we got to mixing and they were DELICIOUS! We made a whole batch and stuck them in the fridge for whenever I need a fix. 
For the Crepes:
3 Large eggs
3 Tablespoons of Cream cheese
a pinch of allspice
a pinch of nutmeg
two pinches cinnamon
1/2 a packet of Splenda
And the filling:
This part we just tweaked until it tasted right, so I don't know the exact amount, but here is the ratio:
The mix was 2/3 whipped cream cheese with 1/3 whipped cream (I used Cool Whip, it could be made more low carb by using home-made whipped cream.)
I also put a little allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in the filling (less cinnamon than in the crepes), and the remaining 1/2 packet of Splenda.
Making these is super easy. I mix all the crepe ingredients in a blender and cook them in a pan just like regular pancakes. The batter isn't very thick, so they come out nice and thin on their own. Then just wait until the crepes cool a little and put some of the cheese filling on top and roll it up.
I didn't have any fruit to put on top, so I just topped them with a little bit of whipped cream. Some like their blintzes with sour cream on top, you could do that, too. This low-carb recipe isn't that much different from real blintzes, so they taste natural and are good served warm or cold.
As long as you're careful with the spendla and whipped cream, it seems like this would be Atkins Induction friendly as well.
Note: A filling could also be made with farmer's cheese or cottage cheese, or some combination of those with the cream cheese.
