Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, all-purpose flour, and salt.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, skim milk, and water until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter.
Step 4
Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 6
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting the pan quickly to spread the batter thinly and evenly.
Step 7
Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side until the edges begin to lift from the pan, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
Step 9
For each crepe, place a portion of sliced ham and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on one half of the crepe.
Step 10
Top with a few fresh baby spinach leaves and a dash of black pepper.
Step 11
Fold the crepe in half and then fold once more to form a wedge.
Step 12
Return the folded crepe to the skillet and cook for a minute on each side over low heat until the cheese melts.
Step 13
Serve the crepes warm, garnished with extra spinach or a side salad if desired.
