Savoury Spinach Crepes

Ingredients

Crepe Ingredients

• 1 cup + 2 (145g) tablespoons plain flour

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon oregano

• 1 1/3 cup milk

• 80 grams spinach

• 2 eggs*

• 3 tablespoons (43g) melted and cooled butter (plus 1 teaspoon for the pan)

Filling Ingredients

• 1/2 red pepper, chopped

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 3 spring onions, chopped 1 pack of taco seasoning

• Any other vegetables of your choice

Method

1. Prepare the butter: Melt the butter in the microwave, then set it aside to cool.

2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and oregano.

3. Blend the wet ingredients: Add the spinach and milk to a blender. Blend until the liquid is completely green with no spinach bits remaining. Add the eggs and blend again until fully combined (about 15 seconds, do not over mix).

4. Combine the batter: Pour the blended mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth and well combined. Add the melted butter and whisk again until the batter is silky smooth.

5. Heat the pan: Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in an 8-inch non-stick pan over medium-low heat, ensuring the entire pan is greased. You won't need to grease the pan again for the remaining crepes.

6. Cook the crepes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the centre of the heated pan. Immediately lift and swirl the pan in a circle to coat the base evenly. Cook until light golden spots appear underneath (about 1.30-2 minutes).

7. Add the filling: Flip the crepe and cook for 1 minute on the other side. Add mozzarella, red peppers, spring onions, generous sprinkle of taco seasoning and your chosen vegetables. Fold the crepe in half and flip it again to ensure the cheese melts. Enjoy hot!
