Ingredients

For the Filling
  • ½ onion, minced
  • 1 c fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ c ricotta cheese
  • ¼ tsp salt
For the Crepes
  • 1 c fresh spinach, packed
  • ½ c whole wheat flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ c milk
  • ¼ c + 2 Tbsp water
  • 1 Tbsp salted butter (to cook)

Instructions

For the Filling
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small, non-stick sauté pan sauté onion with a little oil or water over medium-high heat until soft, 3 min. Add chopped spinach and sauté 1-2 minutes, until spinach begins to wilt slightly.
  2. Remove pan from the heat and stir in ricotta cheese and salt. Set mixture aside.
For the Crepes
  1. Place all crepe ingredients, except the butter, in the bowl of a food processor. Process until a smooth, thin batter has formed. Let batter rest for 15 minutes before using.
  2. Preheat an 8” non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Grease the skillet with a little butter, and pour roughly 3 Tbsp of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom. (There should be just barely enough batter to coat the entire bottom of the skillet.)
  3. Cook crepes 1 ½ - 2 minutes on the first side. Flip and let the second side rest for 5-10 seconds in the hot pan before removing the crepe from the pan and wrapping in a towel.
  4. Repeat with remaining batter, keeping the stack of finished crepes wrapped in a towel to let the steam keep them soft.
Putting It All Together
  1. Place roughly 1 Tbsp of filling over a quarter of each crepe, and fold to wrap the filling.
