Egg Crepe Manicotti image

Delicious Manicotti dish with non-traditional noodles. Great for low-carbers, but non-dieters love it too! I like food with lots of garlic, so feel free to reduce it down.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 eggs
16 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
1 small yellow onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon parsley
1 (12 ounce) jar marinara sauce
mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Break the eggs into a medium sized bowl and whisk together. Add 3 TB of the ricotta to this mixture, whisking until smooth.
  • Coat a frying pan with nonstick spray and ladle a small amount of the egg mixture into the pan. Swirl the mixture around until it coats the entire pan in a thin layer.
  • Wait until edges begin to dry, flip! Another 30 seconds on that side and remove the crepe to a plate. Repeat until egg mixture is gone.
  • Next, heat the olive oil in the pan, then caramelize the onions and garlic together. Add this, along with the herbs to the remaining ricotta cheese.
  • Spoon the cheese into the center of a crepe, then roll the crepe around it. Place the crepe in a glass baking dish. Repeat with remaining crepes and cheese.
  • Pour sauce over crepes, top with desired amount of mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cheese should be melted and manicotti should be hot throughout.
