Ingredients
  

For the Crepes:
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour or all-purpose
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups low-fat milk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
For the Filling:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup low-fat ricotta or crumbled feta
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella optional
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Make the Crepe Batter: In a bowl, whisk flour, eggs, milk, olive oil, and salt until smooth. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a thin layer of batter and swirl to cover the pan. Cook 1 minute per side. Repeat until all crepes are made (about 8 crepes).
  3. Prepare the Filling: Heat olive oil in a pan. Sauté chopped spinach for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat, mix in cheeses, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Crepes: Spoon filling onto each crepe. Fold into quarters or roll up.
  5. Serve Warm: Garnish with extra parsley and serve immediately.
