Crepe de Palmito

Crepe de Palmito is a delicious Brazilian brunch dish featuring thin, delicate crepes filled with a savory palm heart mixture. This vegetarian delight is both light and satisfying, perfect for a leisurely weekend meal.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 125 grams
• milk - 250 ml
• eggs - 2 large
• salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• butter - 30 grams (for cooking)
• canned palm hearts - 200 grams, drained and sliced
• cream cheese - 100 grams
• grated Parmesan cheese - 30 grams
• fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, and salt until smooth to create the crepe batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the sliced palm hearts, cream cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. Pour in a ladle of crepe batter, swirling the pan to evenly coat the bottom.
4. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for an additional minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
5. Once all crepes are cooked, place a generous spoonful of the palm heart filling in the center of each crepe, fold them over, and serve warm.
