Honey Cinnamon Paneer & Pear Crepes for Meatless Monday

I think that I’ve mentioned that I LOVE eating breakfast for dinner. And for breakfast. And lunch. Maybe even for snacks, too. Screw it. I could eat breakfast all day long, every single day. 
Honey Cinnamon Paneer & Pear Crepes for Meatless Monday

I decided last week that crepes were going to feature on our Meatless Monday dinner recipe, but I also needed to work in some protein. I wanted to do a ‘sweet’ (but not much extra sugar, like syrup or brown sugar toppings) pancake, and I still had some Paneer in the fridge from my initial foray into the new-to-me cooking cheese, so I got to thinking… And what I came up with was not only terribly delicious, but also incredibly easy. Honey Cinnamon Paneer Crepes for Meatless Monday. What better way to start out a new week?

The most work-intensive part of this meal, as with most crepe meals, is making the crepes themselves. My sister posted this easiest crepe recipe ever  a while back that she picked up while she was living in Paris – seriously – 3 ingredients, 1:1:1. Easy to double, triple, or cut in half! I usually double the recipe, because I loooove having leftover crepes in the fridge for breakfast the next morning. 🙂

Ingredients
  1. 1 (375g) package of Paneer (or equiv. homemade)
  2. 2 Tbsp honey
  3. 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  4. pinch of salt
  5. 3 very ripe pears, sliced in thin wedges.
Instructions
  1. Crumble entire block of paneer, as you would with feta cheese.
  2. Heat crumbled paneer in small pan over low heat.
  3. Add honey, cinnamon, & salt. Stir well.
  4. Heat through, stirring often.
  5. Spread about 1/4 cup of the paneer mixture down the centre of a crepe, top with 8-10 slices of pear, roll, & serve warm.
Notes
  1. If you don't have paneer on hand, ricotta cheese would be an excellent substitution.

Note: These pancakes are sweet enough that you can avoid adding syrup – though I wouldn’t blame you if you added just a touch of real, fresh Maple Syrup!
