Ingredients

• 20 grams unsweetened protein powder
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• 250 ml skim milk
• 50 ml water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 200 grams lean ham, sliced
• 100 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
• 50 grams baby spinach
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, all-purpose flour, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, skim milk, and water until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter.

Step 4

Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting the pan quickly to spread the batter thinly and evenly.

Step 7

Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side until the edges begin to lift from the pan, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

Step 9

For each crepe, place a portion of sliced ham and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on one half of the crepe.

Step 10

Top with a few fresh baby spinach leaves and a dash of black pepper.

Step 11

Fold the crepe in half and then fold once more to form a wedge.

Step 12

Return the folded crepe to the skillet and cook for a minute on each side over low heat until the cheese melts.

Step 13

Serve the crepes warm, garnished with extra spinach or a side salad if desired.
