Ingredient Notes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour: Substitute with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor. • 2 tablespoons olive oil: Use melted butter for a richer taste. • 1 pound spinach: Fresh or frozen works well; if using frozen, thaw and drain. • 1/2 cup goat cheese: Substitute with feta or ricotta for a different flavor profile.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, pour in a thin layer of batter, and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
- Sauté spinach in a bit of olive oil until wilted, then spread an even layer over each crepe, followed by crumbled goat cheese.
- Roll each crepe tightly, slice them into bite-sized pieces, serve warm, and enjoy.
Things I’ve Learned
Fresh ingredients make all the difference in flavor. If the crepe batter is too thick, add a bit more water to thin it out. Store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel for moisture retention.
