  • olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • cheese (mozzarella or similar) - 100 grams
  • fresh spinach - 50 grams
  • tomato - 1 medium, sliced
  • egg - 2 large

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mix the tapioca flour and salt together.
  2. Gradually add water to the flour, stirring until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
  3. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
  5. Pour a ladleful of the batter into the skillet, swirling it to form a thin, even layer.
  6. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges lift and the crepe is set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  7. Remove the crepe from the skillet and keep it warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. In the same skillet, add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  9. Place some cheese, wilted spinach, and tomato slices on one half of each crepe.
  10. Crack an egg over the filling and sprinkle with black pepper.
  11. Fold the crepe over to enclose the filling and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the egg is cooked to your liking.
  12. Serve warm and enjoy your Tapioca Crepes!
