Serves: 4-6 (Yield: 13 crepes)

For the Pesto:

• 2 oz fresh basil leaves (about 1 cup)
• 1 cup walnut halves
• ½ cup olive oil
• 3 large garlic cloves

Place all pesto ingredients into a food processor and blend pesto until a spreadable consistency.

For the Savory Crepe Batter:

• 1 cup egg substitute

To make the crepes: Add all crepe batter ingredients into a blender and process until combined. Refrigerate at least a few hours, or refrigerate overnight.

For each crepe, lightly spray a crepe pan with non-stick Pam butter spray and heat pan until hot. Pour ¼ cup of batter into pan.
