Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
- Pinch of salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt one tablespoon of butter and sauté the fresh spinach until wilted (about 3 minutes). Set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt another tablespoon of butter. Pour in about one-third cup of batter and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for roughly 2 minutes until edges lift slightly.
- Sprinkle shredded Gruyere cheese and sautéed spinach on one half of the crepe, fold it over like a taco, and cook for an additional minute until the cheese melts.
- Repeat with remaining batter and serve garnished with extra cheese or sour cream if desired.
