Crêpes aux Épinards

Crêpes aux Épinards are delicate French pancakes filled with a flavorful spinach and cheese mixture, making them a tasty and healthy snack option. These crêpes are light yet satisfying, perfect for any time of the day.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 100 grams
• Milk - 250 ml
• Eggs - 2 large
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh spinach - 150 grams
• Ricotta cheese - 100 grams
• Grated Parmesan cheese - 30 grams
• Nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
2. In a skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Pour a small ladle of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook for another minute until golden. Repeat to make 4 crêpes in total, adding oil as needed.
3. In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. In a bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
5. Place a generous spoonful of the spinach mixture onto one half of each crêpe. Fold the crêpes over to enclose the filling, then serve warm.
