• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

• 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Timing

Making Spinach Cheese Stuffed Crêpe Rolls takes about 20 minutes for preparation and 20 minutes for cooking.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crêpe Batter

1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes.

Step 2: Cook the Crêpes

1. Heat a Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
2. Cook Crêpes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crêpes on a plate.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

1. Sauté Spinach: In a skillet, lightly sauté the chopped spinach over medium heat until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, sautéed spinach, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Crêpe Rolls

1. Fill Crêpes: Take one crêpe and place a generous spoonful of the spinach cheese filling along one edge. Roll the crêpe tightly around the filling.
2. Repeat: Continue filling and rolling the remaining crêpes.

Step 5: Serve

1. Warm Marinara: If using marinara sauce, warm it in a saucepan over low heat.
2. Plate the Rolls: Place the crêpe rolls on a serving platter and drizzle with warm marinara sauce if desired. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
3. Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy these delicious spinach cheese stuffed crêpe rolls!
