Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 6 cups Fresh spinach (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 small piece Onion (finely diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt (for filling)
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground, for filling)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.

Step 2

While the batter rests, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly coat with butter or cooking spray.

Step 7

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan, tilting it to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to curl and the bottom is golden. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.

Step 8

To assemble, place a crepe on a work surface and spoon about 3 tablespoons of the spinach filling onto the center. Fold the crepe into a triangle, or roll it up like a wrap.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or a light drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
