When making recipes for the first time I always follow the ingredients and measurements exactly. Although these turned out great I did have to pull an audible. The filling turned out runny, really runny. No way was I getting a heaping scoop of it and no way would it stay in the crepe; it was the consistency of tomato soup. I ended up adding corn starch and cooking the filling on the stove top until it was thick enough and then went right back to following the directions. Maybe the cottage cheese I purchased was the issue, not sure, the next time I may try Ricotta cheese.Reply

I made these a while ago and never got around to reviewing it. Loved them! Very easy to make... I subbed ricotta for the cottage cheese as that's what I had and I simply like the taste better. Worked great. DH liked them but I think it's not a guy's dream breakfast (no sausage and hash browns!) ... but he had not problem cleaning his plate anyway. Thanks... I'll be making this again - I know my mom's going to love this recipe.Reply

I thought these were ok, but my family didn't really care for them. I dind't really like the texture of the cottage cheese mixture. maybe if I didn't puree the nuts. ..Reply
