Crespelle di Spinaci are delicate Italian crepes filled with a savory spinach and ricotta mixture, making for a delicious and nutritious low-carb breakfast option. These light and flavorful crespelle are perfect for those seeking a healthy start to their day.

Ingredients

• Eggs - 4 large
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Milk (unsweetened almond or coconut) - 200 ml
• Spinach (fresh) - 200 grams
• Ricotta cheese - 150 grams
• Parmesan cheese (grated) - 50 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Nutmeg - a pinch

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, milk, salt, and pepper until you have a smooth batter.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
3. Pour a ladleful of the batter into the skillet, swirling it to create a thin crepe. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.
4. In a separate pan, sauté the fresh spinach in a little olive oil until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. In a bowl, combine the wilted spinach, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
6. Take one crepe, place a generous spoonful of the spinach filling in the center, and fold the crepe over the filling. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling.
7. Serve the crespelle warm, garnished with additional grated Parmesan if desired.
