Whole Grain Crepes filled with fresh fruit

I have never had crepes before, so I decided last week that I was going to make some. I found a great recipe for some whole grain crepes, which made me all giddy. I love when I can indulge a little and still have it be nutritious. For my first time making them, they turned out delicious. I filled the crepes with fresh berries and light cool whip and drizzled some honey on top of them. I also had turkey sausage patties and eggs with them. I ate way too many crepes but they were so delicious! :)

Ingredients:
1/4 cup eggbeaters or 1 large egg
1 large egg white
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
Cool whip
nonstick cooking spray
Optional: honey for drizzling


Directions:
-In a large bowl, whisk egg, egg white, salt, and vanilla until frothy.

-In a medium size nonstick skillet, heat over medium heat. Make sure to spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
-Pick up the pan when it is heated and pour 1/4 cup of batter in the pan and spread around to cover the entire bottom.
-Place the skillet on the burner and cook for 30-45 seconds.
-Flip the crepe and cook an additional 10-15 seconds.
-Repeat process until all your batter is used. You should end up with 8-10 crepes. *keep adding nonstick cooking spray in between batches to prevent sticking/scorching.
