Directions
Make the Crepe Batter:In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and dried herbs until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
Prepare the Filling:In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.Add the chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, feta, and Parmesan cheeses. Stir in the sautéed spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the Crepes:Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.Pour about 1/4 cup of crepe 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 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Fill the Crepes:Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and cheese filling onto one half of each crepe. Fold the crepe over and place it in a warm oven to keep it warm while you finish cooking the others.
Serve:Arrange the filled crepes on a platter. Garnish with fresh herbs and additional grated cheese if desired. Serve warm.
