Savory Crepe With Ground Beef, Cheese, And Spinach Recipe

Prepare the Crepe Batter

Begin by making the crepe batter. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, milk, eggs, and a small amount of melted butter. Whisk together until the batter is smooth. Let it rest for about 30 minutes, allowing the flour to fully hydrate and the batter to thicken slightly.

Cook the Crepes

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter to coat the pan. Pour in enough batter to thinly cover the bottom of the skillet, swirling to spread evenly. Cook until the edges begin to lift from the pan, then flip and cook the other side until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Prepare the Filling

In a separate pan, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it's fully browned. Season with salt, pepper, and any desired spices. Once cooked, remove from the heat and set aside. In the same pan, add a touch more butter and sauté the spinach just until wilted. Set aside.

Assemble the Crepes

Take one crepe and lay it flat on a plate. Spread a layer of cooked ground beef, a sprinkle of grated cheese, and a handful of sautéed spinach onto one half of the crepe. Fold the crepe over to enclose the filling. You can also roll it if preferred.

Final Touch

Place the filled crepe back on a warm pan and sprinkle a little more cheese on top. Cover with a lid and let it cook just until the cheese inside and on top has melted. Serve warm.
