Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup Milk (lactose-free options available)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (alternatives available)
- 2 large Eggs (tofu for vegan option)
Filling
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (or Gruyère or mozzarella)
- 2 cups Spinach (or kale or arugula)
- 1 cup Tomatoes (diced fresh tomatoes)
Additional
- Olive oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- Preparation: In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, flour, and eggs. Whisk or blend thoroughly until the batter is completely smooth. Allow the batter to rest for about 30 minutes to improve texture and consistency.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter. Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the skillet and quickly swirl the pan to evenly coat the surface. Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift, then carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional minute until golden and cooked through.
- Prepare the Filling: In a separate pan, heat olive oil and sauté the spinach until just wilted. Add scrambled eggs to the pan, then stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and warm, approximately 3-4 minutes. Mix well to combine all filling ingredients.
- Assemble the Crepes: Place a cooked crepe on a plate and spoon some of the warm filling into the center. Fold the crepe over the filling gently, creating a neat parcel. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh diced tomatoes or herbs if desired.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with silken tofu blended into the batter and use vegan cheese alternatives.
- You can substitute spinach with kale or arugula depending on preference.
- Try different cheeses like Gruyère or mozzarella for flavor variations.
- Allowing the batter to rest ensures more tender crepes.
- Serve crepes immediately while warm for the best texture.
