Ingredients

  • 8 oz Spinach leaves
  • 1/3 cup chopped scallions
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 4 tbsp melted brown butter
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/3 cups AP flour

Instructions

  • Add spinach, scallions, milk, melted brown butter, eggs, salt, parmesan, and lemon juice to a large blender.
  • Mix on high speed for 2-3 minutes until completely smooth. If you still have green clumps, try using an immersion blender in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add your flour on top of the wet ingredients and fold using a spatula until fully combined.
  • Let batter rest for 5-10 minutes and preheat a crepe pan (or nonstick skillet) over low-medium heat.
  • Remove pan from heat for 30 seconds, then quickly spoon 1/3 cup of batter onto the middle of the pan and twist to spread evenly.
  • Smooth excess batter with a spatula. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, using a nonstick spatula to flip the crepe when the first side is cooked.
  • Rest on a plate in a pile to keep warm. Transfer each crepe to a plate and fill with your favorite fillings (cream cheese, grated cheddar, smoked salmon, etc.)

Notes

  • Don't worry if your batter isn't perfectly smooth - texture is flavor! The crepes will be just as delicious. 
  • To make my artichoke filling, simply blend a can of artichokes with parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and lemon juice to taste and spread a large dollop on each crepe.
