Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup – Forms the smooth, flexible base of the crepe
- Milk: 1 1/2 cups – Adds moisture and helps create a tender texture
- Large Eggs: 2 – Binds everything and provides structure
- Butter (melted): 2 tablespoons – Enhances flavor and prevents sticking
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon – Brings out the other flavors in the crepe batter
- Cooking Spray or Butter: For greasing the pan – Ensures the crepes don’t stick
Filling
- Cheddar Cheese (shredded): 1 cup – Adds savory, melty goodness
- Spinach (fresh or sautéed): 1 cup – A healthy, flavorful filler
- Eggs (scrambled): 4 – The heart of the filling, soft and protein-packed
- Tomatoes (diced): 1/2 cup – Brings freshness and juiciness
- Chives (chopped): 2 tablespoons – For a final burst of herbal brightness
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment
Set your non-stick skillet over medium heat to warm while you prep the batter. - Combine Ingredients
In a blender or large bowl, mix flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until completely smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. - Prepare Your Cooking Vessel
Lightly grease your skillet with butter or cooking spray. - Assemble the Dish
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting it immediately to spread thin. Cook for 1–2 minutes until edges lift, then flip and cook the other side for another minute. - Cook to Perfection
Transfer finished crepes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, stacking with parchment in between. - Finishing Touches
Fill each crepe with scrambled eggs, sautéed spinach, shredded cheese, and diced tomatoes. Fold or roll gently. - Serve and Enjoy
Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce.
Notes
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to ensure tender crepes.
- Use parchment paper between stacked crepes to prevent sticking.
- Optionally serve with sour cream or hot sauce for added flavor.
