Quick and easy to make, perfect for brunch gatherings, versatile filling options, deliciously satisfying, and can be made gluten-free with the right flour.

Ingredient Notes

1 cup of all-purpose flour gives the crêpes their structure. You can substitute with gluten-free flour if needed. 2 tablespoons of melted butter adds richness, while 1 pound of spinach offers a nutritious filling. Finally, 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese brings a tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the spinach.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, melted butter, and 1 cup of water until smooth.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour a small amount of batter, swirling to cover the base evenly.
  3. Cook for about 2 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook for another minute.
  4. Repeat until all batter is used.
  5. In a separate pan, sauté the spinach until wilted, then mix in the feta.
  6. Fill each crêpe with the spinach-feta mixture, fold, and serve warm.

Things I’ve Learned
