- 1 cup of flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups of milk
- a pinch of salt
- butter or oil for greasing
- 2 cups of fresh spinach
- 1 cup of diced beef ham
- 1 cup of shredded Gruyère cheese
- olive oil for sautéing
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 2 large eggs, 1 ½ cups of milk, and a pinch of salt.
- Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the skillet and quickly swirl it around to form a thin, even layer.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly browned. Carefully flip and cook for an additional minute on the other side.
- Repeat the process until all the batter is used, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate and covering them to keep warm.
- In a skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté 2 cups of fresh spinach over medium heat until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of diced beef ham and 1 cup of shredded Gruyère cheese until well combined and the cheese starts to melt.
- Take one crepe and place a generous portion of the beef ham, cheese, and spinach filling in the center.
- Fold the sides of the crepe over the filling, then roll it up gently.
- Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
- Place the filled crepes on a serving plate and garnish with extra cheese or a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.
- These crepes are best served warm, alongside a fresh salad or some sliced tomatoes for a complete breakfast.

Keywords: If your crepe batter seems too thick, add a bit more milk until it reaches a pourable consistency. Consider adding herbs like thyme or basil to the spinach filling for an extra layer of flavor. You can prepare the crepes in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Just reheat them in a skillet before filling.
