Ingredients:

Crepes:

  • 1 + ½ cups milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil (plus extra for greasing the pan)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Filling:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3-4 plum tomatoes, diced, seeds removed

  • 2 cups fresh ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil

Instructions:


  1. In a food processor pulse together the spinach, milk, eggs, butter and basil just until combined. Add the flour and 1 teaspoon coarse salt, puree until smooth and allow mixture to rest 20 minutes.
  2. After 20 minutes heat a crepe pan, flat griddle or 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Mix the batter up again with a spoon then use a 1/2 cup ladle to pour batter into the center of the pan, use the bottom of the ladle to carefully spread the batter out into a thin circle. When crepe is dry around the edges and golden brown on the bottom flip and cook until golden brown. Repeat, greasing the pan each time until all the crepe batter is cooked.
