CREME OF SPINACH CREPES

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 20 crepes

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups milk
1 3/4 cups flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks
6 tablespoons melted butter, plus more softened butter for pan
1 pound frozen chopped spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, sliced
3 tablespoons butter
Salt
1/4 cup half-and-half
3 teaspoons flour
Steamed vegetables, for serving, optional
Grated Parmesan, for topping
Roasted red peppers, sliced, for topping

Steps:

  • For the batter: Put half of the milk into a mixing bowl, along with the flour, salt and egg yolks, and mix at medium speed until smooth. Slowly pour the remaining milk into the mixture and keep mixing at a low speed. Slowly add the melted butter and mix at medium speed.
  • Warm your frying pan. Take a paper towel, dip it in soft butter and wipe the bottom of the frying pan so it is lightly coated. Depending on your pan size, pour a paper-thin layer to cover the pan and move it around. Fry until the crepe slides around the pan and flip. Cook until golden brown spots appear. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • For the filling: Put a little water at the bottom of a medium pot. Add the spinach, garlic, onion, butter and salt to taste and cook about 20 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • In a separate container, mix the half-and-half and flour until smooth. Pour slowly into the spinach and stir it in. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Put some creme of spinach into a crepe and any steamed veggies you would like, such as broccoli, zucchini or bell pepper. Fold the crepe over on itself a couple times and top it with Parmesan and roasted red peppers.

SPINACH CREPE BATTER



Spinach Crepe Batter image

This is a recipe from an old 1970's cookbook that myself and my oldest Son still cook from. They are really great and very easy. I included the one hour resting time in the preparation time. Enjoy!

Categories     Spinach

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 crepes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 eggs
1 1/4 cups 1% low-fat milk
1/3 cup spinach, finely chopped and packed
1 1/4 cups plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs, then add milk and mix either by hand or in the electric blender. We use a blender because it mixes well and is easy to pour from.
  • Add the spinach and blend well.
  • Sift the flour with the salt, pepper and nutmeg and gradually add to the spinach mixture.
  • Add the oil and blend thoroughly.
  • Set aside and allow mixture to stand for at least an hour before using. If the batter is too thick, add a little milk and mix.
  • Pour one or two tablespoons of the batter in the centre of a hot, nonstick frying pan. Tilt to spread the batter to the edges of the pan. Cook until the top is dry. Turn over and cook the other side for about 15 seconds. Don't worry if the first couple aren't perfect - those are the trial ones for me!
  • Be adventuresome and stuff these with whatever sounds good with spinach! Try shrimp or chicken or other vegetables.

Repeat with remaining crepes and spinach mixture, ending with a crepe. Spread reserved bechamel on top, and sprinkle with remaining cup cheese.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect crepe batter, use all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, water, salt, and butter. You can also add sugar or other flavorings, such as vanilla extract or lemon zest.
  • Make sure the batter is thin enough to pour easily, but not so thin that it's watery. The consistency should be similar to heavy cream.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Brush the pan with butter or oil before pouring in the batter.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and swirl it around to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Fill the crepes with your favorite fillings, such as cheese, ham, vegetables, or fruit. You can also serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Crepes are a versatile and delicious food that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect crepes that are sure to impress your friends and family. So what are you waiting for? Start cooking!
