Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups non-fat milk
- 3 large egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0 non-stick cooking spray
- 8 slices low-fat cooked ham
- 4 slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, non-fat milk, egg whites, and salt until smooth to form the crepe batter.
Step 2
Cover the batter and let it rest for about 15 minutes while you prepare the fillings, allowing the flour to absorb the liquid.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 4
Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly.
Step 5
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on one side, until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly browned, then flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer cooked crepe to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 6
Once all the crepes are cooked, place a slice of low-fat ham, a half slice of Swiss cheese, and a small handful of fresh baby spinach onto one half of each crepe.
Step 7
Fold the crepe in half to enclose the filling, then fold once more to create a triangle.
Step 8
Return the filled crepes to the skillet to heat through if necessary; cook on low until the cheese has melted and the crepes are warmed through.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot, with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad.
