Description

Delicate crepes, with their lacy edges and tender texture, offer a world of culinary possibilities beyond the usual sweet fillings. This recipe showcases the versatility of crepes with a savory filling that is both comforting and wholesome. Imagine the subtle chew of the crepe yielding to a creamy, flavorful interior of ricotta cheese and vibrant spinach.

The filling itself is a symphony of textures and tastes. The ricotta, smooth and rich, provides a blank canvas for the earthy notes of spinach. A hint of nutmeg enhances the subtle sweetness of the ricotta, while a touch of garlic adds a savory depth that complements the spinach perfectly.

The spinach, wilted just until tender, retains a slight bite that contrasts beautifully with the softness of the cheese. Together, they create a harmonious blend that is both satisfying and surprisingly light. While crepe-making may seem daunting at first, the process is quite simple with a little practice.

The key is to achieve a thin, even batter and a consistent cooking temperature. The first few crepes may not be perfect, but don't be discouraged! Each attempt will bring you closer to mastering the technique.

The reward is a stack of these delicate pancakes, ready to be filled with your favorite savory or sweet ingredients. These savory crepes are perfect for a light lunch, a sophisticated brunch, or even a simple supper. Serve them warm, perhaps with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or a drizzle of olive oil.

They can also be made ahead of time and reheated, making them a convenient option for busy weeknights. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner in the kitchen, these ricotta and spinach crepes are sure to impress with their elegant simplicity and delicious flavor.

Instructions

    1.
    Combine cream cheese, eggs, the first amount of salt, stevia, and almond flour in a food processor or bullet blender. Pulse carefully due to the batter's liquid consistency. Transfer the crepe batter to a pouring vessel, yielding about 1 cup of batter (a doubled recipe would be 2 cups).
    2.
    Heat an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with approximately ¼ tsp of butter. Pour slightly over ⅓ cup of batter into the hot skillet.
    3.
    Remove the skillet from heat and rotate it to spread the batter into a wide circle. Return the skillet to the heat, using a spatula to reshape the crepe if needed.
    4.
    Cook the crepe until the edges turn golden brown, approximately 10 seconds. Then, flip the crepe to finish cooking.
    5.
    Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate or clean surface. Repeat steps 2-4 until all crepes are cooked, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
    6.
    Allow the crepes to cool. Prepare the filling by combining the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Use the back of a spoon to break up the ricotta cheese. For a warm filling, microwave for 30-60 seconds, being careful not to melt the ricotta.
    7.
    Place a single crepe on a flat surface and spoon about ⅛ of the ricotta filling down the center.
    8.
    Fold the crepe like a burrito: fold over one long edge, then fold in the two shorter edges, and finally roll the crepe into the last long edge. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
    9.
    Enjoy warm!
