Cheesy Spinach and Egg Crêpes
These bright green spinach crêpes are like spring on a plate and a show-stopping addition to your next brunch. The Tillamook Extra Creamy Unsalted Butter makes the crêpes tender and delicate, while the Tillamook Original Cream Cheese inside each crêpe delivers an irresistibly creamy bite.
Ingredients
Garlic Herb Cream Cheese
1 garlic clove
1 small lemon
1⁄2tsp flaky salt
2 tbsp thinly sliced chives
Spinach Crêpes
2 tbsp (30g) Tillamook Extra Creamy Unsalted Butter, plus more for cooking
2 heaping cups (112g) baby spinach
2 tbsp (30g) sugar
2 large eggs, plus 5 to 6 eggs for frying
1⁄2cup (125g) whole milk
1⁄2cup (125g) water
1 packed cup (140g) all-purpose flour
1⁄2tsp flaky salt
Make the garlic herb cream cheese:
In a small food processor, combine the garlic, zest of 1 lemon, juice of 1/2 lemon, salt, cream cheese, and 2 tablespoons water.
Pulse, scraping the sides as needed, for 1 to 2 minutes until whipped and easy to spread.
Add the chives and stir to incorporate.
Add the mixture to a piping bag. Cut off the piping bag tip.
Make the crêpes:
In a blender, combine the butter, spinach, sugar, 2 eggs, milk, and water. Blend for a minute or two, until smooth. Add the flour and pulse for a few seconds, until incorporated.
Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Grease with butter. Add an egg in the center, then pour enough spinach crêpe batter around the egg to cover the bottom of the pan. Cover with a lid and cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute, until the crepe looks darker in color.
Pipe a circle of the garlic herb cream cheese around the yolk. Fold the crêpe edges over the cream cheese, using a silicone spatula. Pour a tablespoon of water in the pan, cover with a lid, and steam for a minute, until the egg white looks opaque, while the yolk maintains a runny consistency. Adjust the heat as needed.
Remove the lid, then slide the spinach crêpe on a serving plate. Repeat the process with the remaining spinach crêpe batter. Serve warm, with flaky salt on top.
