Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 cups Milk
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- Cooking Spray or Butter for greasing the pan
Filling
- 4 Eggs, scrambled
- 1 cup Spinach, fresh or sautéed
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the crepes.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender or large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, milk, 2 large eggs, melted butter, and salt. Blend or whisk together until the batter is completely smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to develop flavor and improve texture.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly grease the preheated skillet with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, tilting the pan immediately to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin lifting from the pan.
- Cook to Perfection: Carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for about 1 minute, until lightly golden. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes with parchment paper between each to prevent sticking.
- Finishing Touches: Fill each crepe with scrambled eggs, sautéed spinach, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced tomatoes. Fold or roll the crepes gently to enclose the filling.
- Serve and Enjoy: Sprinkle chopped chives over the filled crepes and serve warm. Optionally, add a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce for added flavor.
Notes
- Allowing the batter to rest helps the gluten relax, resulting in more tender crepes.
- Use fresh or leftover sautéed spinach depending on your preference.
- For even cooking, ensure the skillet is properly preheated and greased before each crepe.
- Stack crepes with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together when storing before serving.
- Customize the filling by adding mushrooms or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
