Blueberry Almond Crepes

From THE MAINE STAY INN & COTTAGES
Ingredients
1 16 oz. container cottage cheese
2 egg yolks
3 T plus 1/2 cup sugar
1 T orange zest
1/2 cup chopped almonds
2 T cornstarch
2/3 cups orange juice
4 cups wild Maine blueberries, fresh or frozen
18 breakfast crepes (recipe listed)
1/2 cup almonds, toasted and sliced

Directions

To prepare filling: In a blender container, place cottage cheese, egg yolks, 3 T sugar and orange zest; whirl until well combined. Add chopped almonds; whirl until smooth and set aside. To prepare blueberry sauce: In a saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the cornstarch. Stir in the orange juice and blueberries. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened and clear, about 1 minute. To assemble: Place 2 rounded tablespoons of filling in each breakfast crepe (see Breakfast Crepe recipe). Roll and place on lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. At serving time: Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Baked filled crepes until hot, about 15 minutes. Top with warmed blueberry sauce and sprinkle with powdered sugar and toasted almonds.

Yield: 18 crepes
