Equipment

  • blender
  • nonstick pan
  • medium saucepan
  • whisk
  • spatula

Ingredients
  

Crepes

  • ¾ cup whole milk 180 ml
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour 110 grams

Spinach Filling

  • 425 grams frozen or fresh spinach or 1 bag
  • 425 grams whole ricotta
  • 1 cup grated cheese I used a blend: Havarti, Swiss
  • nutmeg to taste
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

White Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water or milk
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch diluted in ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • nutmeg to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Crepes Preparation

  • In the blender, place the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, and salt, and blend for a few seconds until everything is mixed. Add the melted butter with the machine running slowly and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Remove the mixture from the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before making the crepes, and beat with a whisk for 30 seconds.
  • Heat a nonstick pan about 23-25 cm in diameter over medium-high heat until water droplets dance and jump before evaporating. Add ¼ cup or 60 ml or half a ladle of batter into the pan, turn the pan so that the mixture coats the entire bottom, and cook 45-60 seconds when the edges begin to brown and slightly lift with the help of a spatula to turn the pancake and cook another 45 seconds. Stack cooked crepes on a plate and keep them covered with a clean kitchen towel.

Spinach Filling Preparation

  • Bring salted water to boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Drop the spinach and wait to return to a boil. Cook for 4 minutes—strain and press with a spoon to remove as much water as possible. Cut small. Mix the ricotta and grated cheese in a large bowl. Add the spinach, stir well, and season to taste with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Use three tablespoons of filling per crepe. Line them up in a dish that can go in the oven.

White Sauce Preparation

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the milk, water, salt, and diluted cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring until it boils. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes, continuously stirring. Season with nutmeg, pepper, and salt to taste.

Final Preparation

  • Pour over stuffed crepes and bake for 20 minutes at 300F or 150C. Serve hot.

Notes

The first crepe may not turn out perfect, but that's okay. You can eat it.
