This recipe for Spinach & Blue Cheese Crepes combines the earthy flavor of spinach, the sharpness of blue cheese, and the salty richness of prosciutto to create a delightful meal that works well for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner. Let's dive in to learn how to prepare this delicious dish.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, sift the flour to remove any lumps.
- Crack the eggs into the bowl, and whisk together with the flour until smooth and well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until the spinach is wilted and any liquid has evaporated. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside.
- Using the same skillet, lightly grease with a bit of oil or butter and heat over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and tilt it in a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is slightly golden brown.
- Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat this process with the remaining batter.
- Place a cooked crepe on a flat surface.
- Sprinkle some of the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the surface of the crepe.
- Add a layer of the cooked spinach and then some slices of prosciutto.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper.
- Carefully fold the crepe in half and then in half again to form a triangle or roll it up, depending on your preference.
- Repeat the assembly process with the remaining crepes.
- Serve the crepes warm as a delightful brunch or light dinner option. Enjoy them with a simple side salad or a cup of soup for a complete meal.
Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan to ensure that the crepes cook evenly and don't stick to the pan.
- Add the batter to the pan in a thin layer; swirling the pan immediately after pouring will help create uniform crepes.
- Cook the spinach just enough to wilt it, as overcooking can lead to a mushy texture.
- Allow the crepes to cool slightly after cooking before adding the filling to prevent the cheese from melting too quickly.
- Season the crepes to taste with additional black pepper or other spices, such as garlic powder or a pinch of nutmeg, to enhance the flavors.
There you have it – delicious Spinach & Blue Cheese Crepes that are sure to impress. The combination of fresh spinach, tangy blue cheese, and savory prosciutto creates a balanced and flavorful dish. Enjoy these crepes on a leisurely weekend morning, or serve them to guests as a sophisticated yet satisfying meal.
