Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 1 cup (120g)
• Milk - 1 cup (240ml)
• Egg - 1 large
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Butter - 2 tablespoons (30g), melted
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (15ml)
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Mushrooms (button or cremini) - 200g, sliced
• Fresh spinach - 150g, roughly chopped
• Cream cheese - 100g, softened
• Black pepper - to taste
• Parmesan cheese - 30g, grated (optional)
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
2. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Pour in about 1/4 cup of crepe batter, swirling the pan to evenly coat the bottom.
3. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another minute. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate.
4. In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they soften and release moisture. Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
6. Reduce heat to low, add cream cheese, and mix until creamy and well combined. Season with black pepper to taste.
7. To assemble, spoon a portion of the mushroom and spinach mixture onto one side of each crepe. Fold the crepe over and place on a plate.
8. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
