Step 1:

How do you make a farmer's cheese filling for crêpes? Gather the ingredients. It's better to use farmer's cheese that isn't fat-free but at least 5% fat - the filling will be tastier; I used 9%. The egg should be large and definitely fresh, since it's used raw.
Step 2:

Put the farmer's cheese in a deep bowl, beat in the egg, and add the sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. If you're wary of using a raw egg, replace it with sour cream or milk.
Step 3:

Blend everything with an immersion blender into a smooth, fluffy mass, or mash it with a fork. I recommend the blender - it makes the filling smooth and paste-like, with no grains. You won't be able to mash the farmer's cheese that finely with a fork.
Step 4:

Wrap the cheese filling in the cooked crêpes. You can serve them cold, or put them in a dry skillet and warm them covered, or bake them in the oven - that way the egg gets cooked.
Step 5:

I filled oat crêpes with this filling. They came out absolutely delicious! Enjoy!

If you like, you can add 1 heaping tablespoon of cocoa to the farmer's cheese - then the filling will be cheese-and-chocolate. Kids will like that combination even more. This filling isn't just for crêpes; it's also great for a sweet pie. The dough can be anything: shortcrust, enriched, puff, etc. This mixture also makes an excellent baked farmer's cheese casserole.
You can also add raisins, dried apricots, or prunes to the filling, as well as fresh fruit or berries, which is especially nice in summer. The higher the fat content of the farmer's cheese, the tastier the filling.
How do you tell if an egg is fresh? Crack it into a separate container. First, there should be no off smell. A fresh egg's white is clear and clean. The yolk shouldn't spread - it should be shiny, domed, and uniform.
Always wash eggs before using them, since even a seemingly clean shell may harbor harmful bacteria. It's best to use food-safe wash and a brush.
