Green Eggs, Bacon and Cheesy Berry filled Crepes

Oh, Breakfast for Dinner, how a love you! I'd say every other week I manage to sneak in a dinner of hot breakfast food (no cereal- which we eat almost every morning). This time we had eggs, scrambled with basil pesto (just the store bought kind), thick cut bacon, and whole wheat crepes filled with a berry/cheese/yogurt combo. Here's the recipe for the crepes:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tbsp melted butter or vegetable oil (I used smart balance oil)
1/4 tsp vanilla (optional)

Directions:
  1. Whisk together eggs, milk, water, vanilla (if using) and butter. Gradually add flour and whisk until smooth.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
  3. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.
Berry Cheeese Filling (I eyeballed these ingredients, but this is what I used)
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt

Combine all ingredients in a blender, and pulse until smooth. Add to crepes after they are turned, and fold up in pan to warm the filling.

I wish there were leftovers of this dinner b/c it was YUMMY! Oh, if anyone's looking for super tasty bacon, my favorite is Smithfield's thick cut. I think it's much better than Oscar Meyer or Tyson. It gets crispier!
