Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 shallot (finely chopped)
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 4 cups baby spinach
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a blender, combine flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Blend until smooth, then refrigerate the batter for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Step 3

Pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, swirling to cover the bottom in a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to pull away. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes on a plate.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped shallot and cook for 2 minutes, until translucent.

Step 5

Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and golden.

Step 6

Add the baby spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling into each crepe, folding or rolling them as desired. Place filled crepes on serving plates.

Step 8

Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
