Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Non-stick skillet or crepe pan
  • Spatula
  • Baking dish 9x13 inches or similar size
  • Cooking brush or paper towel for greasing
  • Aluminum foil optional

Ingredients
  

For the Crepe Batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk whole, low-fat, or plant-based
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter plus extra for greasing
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Spinach and Egg Filling:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Topping (Optional):

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Gruyere cheese
  • Fresh herbs e.g., parsley or chives

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined.
  • Gradually add the flour and salt, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter.
  • Mix in the melted butter. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Spinach and Egg Filling

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; sauté until translucent.
  • Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Scramble them lightly in the same skillet until just set. Mix with the spinach and add Parmesan cheese if desired.

Step 3: Cook the Crepes

  • Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
  • Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan, tilting to spread it thinly and evenly.
  • Cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side until the edges lift, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place a spoonful of the spinach and egg filling onto each crepe and roll or fold into a rectangular parcel.
  • Arrange the crepes seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Top with shredded cheese if desired.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes

Tips for the Best Crepes
  • Rest the Batter: Let it sit for 20 minutes to avoid tough crepes.
  • Use a Non-Stick Pan: It makes flipping easier.
  • Experiment with Fillings: Try mushrooms, smoked salmon, or feta cheese.
