• 0.75 cup Milk (whole or 2%, room temperature)
• 2 tsp Granulated Sugar
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (melted and cooled)
• 0.5 cup All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
• 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (for filling, melted)
• 1 cup Fresh Spinach (packed, washed and dried)
• 2 Tbsp Heavy Cream

Instructions

1. Make the Crepe Batter

   Add the egg, milk, sugar, salt, melted butter, and flour to the blender. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

   Time: PT5M

2. Rest the Batter

   Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

   Time: PT30M

3. Prepare the Spinach‑Cheese Filling

   In a small saucepan over medium‑low heat, melt 2 Tbsp butter. Add the packed cup of spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the shredded cheese blend, stirring until fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

   Time: PT7M

4. Heat the Skillet

   Place the non‑stick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter the surface with a small piece of butter.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: medium heat

5. Cook the Crepes

   Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the hot skillet. Quickly lift the pan off the heat and swirl it to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Return the pan to the heat and cook until the edges look dry and start to lift, about 1 minute. Flip the crepe and cook the other side for another minute or less, until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, making approximately 6 crepes.

   Time: PT12M

   Temperature: medium heat

6. Assemble and Serve

   Lay a warm crepe on a plate, spoon a generous amount of the spinach‑cheese sauce into the center, and top with a fried egg if desired. Fold the four corners toward the middle to form a square, then garnish with chopped parsley or chives.

   Time: PT5M
