Ingredients

Servings

• 8 piece Crepes
• 200 gram Spinach
• 200 gram Ricotta Cheese
• 50 gram Parmesan Cheese
• 2 piece Eggs
• 200 milliliter Milk
• 100 gram Flour
• 50 gram Butter
• 2 clove Garlic
• 1 pinch Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and swirl it around to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
3. In a separate pan, heat some butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
4. In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
5. To assemble, spread a spoonful of the cheese mixture onto each crepe. Top with a spoonful of the spinach mixture and roll up tightly. Place the filled crepes in a baking dish.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Pour your choice of sauce over the crepes and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crepes are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve hot and enjoy!
