Microwave the cream cheese for 10-20 seconds to soften it. It needs to be truly soft, though not liquid.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a hand whisk. Add the softened cream cheese, vanilla, and stevia. Whisk patiently until well incorporated and smooth. This will require some elbow grease, so try to be patient!
Heat half the butter in two mini nonstick skillets (or use an egg frying pan) over medium heat. Add ¼ of the batter to each skillet. Cook until golden brown and set on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pans. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite toppings.

The entire recipe makes one serving.
This is an easy recipe, with one caveat: The batter is very thin. So, you can't just pour three or four mounds into a large skillet as you would do with regular pancakes. The batter will spread. The solution is to either use two mini frying pans and cook one pancake at a time in each, or use an egg frying pan.
Whatever pan you use, make sure it's a nonstick pan.
You can add ¼ cup of superfine almond flour to make the pancakes more sturdy.
These pancakes are delicious with no toppings. But obviously, you can top them with butter (as shown in the photos) syrup. Other tasty toppings include whipped cream, strawberry compote, and blueberry compote. The nutrition info does not include toppings.
Once completely cool, you can keep these pancakes in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. If layering them, separate the layers with wax paper squares. You can also successfully freeze these pancakes in a single layer in freezer bags.
