Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (finely chopped)
• 4 ounces Smoked salmon (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Arugula or baby spinach
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil.

Step 3

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift away from the pan and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter to make about 10 crepes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, chives, parsley, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Lay one crepe flat on a clean surface or serving platter. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the crepe using a spatula. Place a few slices of smoked salmon over the cream cheese, followed by a few arugula leaves.

Step 6

Top with another crepe and repeat the process, layering cream cheese, smoked salmon, and arugula between each crepe. Finish the stack with a plain crepe on top.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, trim the edges of the stack to create a clean and uniform look, if desired. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up the layers.

Step 8

To serve, slice the crepe stack into wedges or squares. Garnish with additional chopped herbs or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
