Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 large eggs
3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
4 cups fresh spinach (washed)
1 cup Gruyere cheese (shredded)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with a bit of butter. Sauté spinach until wilted, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
Mix in shredded Gruyere cheese until melted.
In a non-stick skillet, pour half a cup of batter, swirling to coat evenly. Cook until lightly browned on one side (about 2 minutes), then flip.
Fill each crepe with the spinach-cheese mixture, fold over like a taco, and serve warm.
