Ingredients
Scale
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)
- Olive oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- Preparation: In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, all-purpose flour, and eggs. Whisk or blend the ingredients until the batter is completely smooth and free of lumps. Allow the batter to rest for about 30 minutes, which helps to improve the texture of the crepes.
- Cooking 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 swirl the pan to evenly coat the surface with a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for an additional minute.
- Preparing the Filling: In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the spinach until just wilted. Add scrambled eggs and the cheese, stirring gently until the cheese melts and the mixture is warm, about 3-4 minutes.
- Assembling the Crepes: Place a cooked crepe on a plate and spoon a generous portion of the spinach, egg, and cheese filling into the center. Fold the crepe over the filling into a preferred shape, such as a triangle or roll. Garnish with fresh diced tomatoes or herbs if desired, and serve warm for the best flavor.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute eggs with tofu and use plant-based milk and cheese alternatives.
- Allowing the batter to rest helps create tender, less elastic crepes.
- Feel free to customize the filling with other vegetables or proteins such as mushrooms, ham, or smoked salmon.
- Cook crepes over medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
