You’re probably used to sweet crepes, preferably with Nutella and bananas or strawberries. But you haven’t lived until you’ve had a savory crepe pocket stuffed with ham, cheese, and spinach – and with a fried egg to top it all off! Now this is the breakfast of champions.
You’ll Need (for 4):
For the spinach filling:
- oil for cooking
- ½ onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 5 oz spinach
For the crepes:
- 5 oz flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 12 fl oz milk
Extra:
- 4 slices of cheese
- 4 slices of ham
- 4 fried eggs
- chives
Here’s How:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the onion into thin strips and fry together with the garlic and spinach.
2. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and mix the flour, eggs, salt, and milk together until smooth. Pour a ladleful (about ¼ cup) of the crepe batter in the pan, swirl the batter around until the entire pan is coated, and cook the crepe on both sides until golden brown (about 2 minutes). Repeat 3 more times for the rest of the crepes.
3. Fry 4 eggs. Place the crepes on a sheet pan and assemble each one with the following layers: spinach filling, slice of cheese, spinach filling, slice of ham, spinach filling, fried egg.
4. Fold the crepes into 4 small pockets.
5. Bake the crepes for 5 minutes and garnish the finished pockets with chives.
And while these hearty crepes are absolutely perfect for breakfast, they also work great for lunch, dinner, or even a midnight snack!
