Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 100g
• Eggs - 2 large
• Milk - 250ml
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh spinach - 200g
• Ricotta cheese - 150g
• Parmesan cheese, grated - 30g
• Nutmeg - a pinch
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt, then whisk in the eggs and gradually add the milk until the batter is smooth. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Pour in a ladleful of batter, swirling the skillet to spread it evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook for another minute. Repeat until all batter is used, stacking the crepes on a plate.
3. In another pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the fresh spinach until wilted. Remove from heat and mix in the ricotta, Parmesan, nutmeg, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Place a spoonful of the spinach mixture onto each crepe, fold them over, and serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.
