Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 cup Milk (lactose-free options available)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (alternatives available)
- 2 large Eggs (or 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)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and have your cooking utensils ready.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, flour, and eggs. Whisk or blend until the batter is completely smooth. Let it rest for about 30 minutes to ensure the flour is fully hydrated and the crepes turn out tender.
- Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter. Pour a ladle of batter into the center of the skillet, swirling to evenly coat the surface. Cook the crepe for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip carefully and cook the other side for about 1 minute. Repeat until all batter is used.
- Prepare the Filling: In a separate pan, sauté the spinach in olive oil until just wilted. Add scrambled eggs and cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the filling is warm, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Assemble and Serve: Place a cooked crepe on a plate and spoon some of the filling into the center. Fold the crepe over the filling and slide it onto the plate. Garnish with fresh diced tomatoes or herbs if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can substitute tofu for eggs to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Use lactose-free milk or plant-based milk alternatives as desired.
- Feel free to swap cheddar cheese with Gruyère or mozzarella based on preference.
- Spinach can be replaced with kale or arugula according to taste.
- To make the batter gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend.
- Letting the batter rest helps improve crepe texture and prevents tearing.
