Spinach Crepes with Pan-Roasted Vegetables - Happy Foods Tube (1)

I love crepes! Sweet crepes with various fillings or toppings are just delicious! Like these dark chocolate crepes or apple and cocoa batter crepes. You can top or fill them with anything: whipped cream, chocolate, salted caramel, ricotta cheese, berries and you get a great dessert! Roll them or fold them. No matter how you serve them they will be always a hit!

Now what about savory crepes? Have you ever tried them? They are delicious. The first ones I made were filled with ratatouille mix and loads of cheese. Then I made savory crepes with chia seeds.

We loved them. Today I am sharing with you this spinach crepe recipe with savory crepe filling.

I tell you, they tasted divine! Imagine spinach crepe batter seasoned with oregano and ginger. Now it gets better: these delicious savory crepes are topped with tasty vegetable mix.

This savory crepe recipe works well and other thing I like about it is the vibrant color. Tell me, who wouldn’t love green spinach crepes? Well, we do and I hope you will too. They are perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner but you can eat them for breakfast too.

When it comes to their taste I have to say I expected a stronger spinach flavor. However, the spinach taste is really mild so those of you, who are a bit apprehensive about making them, don’t be! Give them a try!

How to make spinach crepes:
I used fresh spinach to make the batter. The spinach leaves were blended with milk until smooth. This spinach puree is then mixed with the rest of the ingredients: the egg, more milk, salt, flour and ginger. Ginger is an important ingredient as it adds an extra flavor to the batter and works really well with spinach.

Fry the crepes the usual way. About 1 ½ – 2 minutes per each side. I use a ¼ cup to pour in the batter and then I try to spread it evenly around by turning the pan and letting the batter spread around evenly. If you feel like the batter is too thick, add some more milk.

Tip: To keep the crepes warm, cover them with another plate. The steam will keep them warm for a good while.

Pan-roasted vegetables:
You can eat these spinach crepes with anything, really. I opted for a mix of mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, onion and parsley. You can throw everything in a pan right at the beginning but I like to add the tomatoes right before so they have some crunch to them. If you don’t mind what texture they have, you can add them in the beginning with the rest of veggies. As for parsley, this is best to add after you turn off the heat. It will not lose its nutrients this way.

Fill (or top) each pancake with this mix and sprinkle over some cheese. This is completely optional so you can omit this step.

Savory vegetarian crepe recipe!
If you are looking for a vegetarian crepe recipe look no more! This is it! However, it does not mean that the rest of you can’t enjoy them. I am no vegetarian and I love them. Sometimes it’s good to have a break from meaty dishes, isn’t it?

This is a very easy homemade crepe recipe that anyone can do. If you feel like you would like to use a different filling/topping, feel free to do so.

Ingredient Substitutions/Alternatives:

  • Himalayan Salt – you can use any salt you have on hand. Bear in mind that sea salt and table salt are saltier than Himalayan salt. This means that you might need to use less salt than stated in this recipe.
  • Fresh Ginger – if you don’t like it, you could use fresh minced garlic (about 2–3 cloves).
  • Sunflower Oil – olive oil is also ok to use.
  • Pan-Roasted Vegetables – use any veggies you like or other filling.
  • Dried Oregano – dried marjoram or thyme will work here as well.

    FAQs

    Why does a crepe batter need to be rested after mixing before frying the crepes? ›

    Letting the batter rest: The reason for letting the batter sit after combined is to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and relax. The batter will also have less of a floury taste. Doing this step will give you a softer crepe.

    What makes crepes rubbery? ›

    Why are my crepes rubbery? There are two reasons for crepes turning out rubbery – too much gluten (flour), or cooking the crepes too slow.

    Can I use milk instead of water in crepes? ›

    Milk: Milk adds moisture and keeps the crêpes tender. Water: Water helps thin the batter. Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor. Butter: Butter lends richness and moisture to the crêpes.

    How long should you let crepe batter rest? ›

    Resting the batter allows the flour to fully absorb the liquid and gives the gluten a chance to relax. While it's not the end of the world if you skip this step, it is the secret to the most delicate, melt-in-your-mouth crepes. Let the batter stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to two days.

    Should pancake batter rest in the fridge or room temperature? ›

    A – If you are going to let your batter rest, leave it for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. If you've got time, leave it for longer – even overnight in the fridge. Some say that there is no point in letting the batter rest and there's certainly no harm in using it straight away. Go ahead if you're in a rush.

    What is the best type of pan to fry crepes in? ›

    We found that carbon steel is better for crepes. While cast iron is great at distributing and maintaining heat, it's heavier than carbon steel. We preferred lightweight pans we could pick up and tilt to swirl the batter.

    Should crepes be rolled or folded? ›

    Traditionally, crêpes are folded or shaped according to the recipe directions. However, there are many recipes that would work well with different types of folds. Crêpes are also very versatile. Once you have the basic crêpe recipe down, you can use whatever ingredients and folds you like.

    Can crepes be made the night before? ›

    Make Ahead Instructions: Batter can be made the night before. Seal tightly in your blender or pour into a mixing bowl and cover tightly, then prepare crepes the next day. Crepes are best enjoyed right away, but you can make a batch and store in the refrigerator for up to 1–2 days.

    Is crepe batter the same as pancake batter? ›

    The main difference is that pancake batter has a raising agent in it, such as baking powder or baking soda, and crepe batter does not. This means that pancakes are thicker and fluffy while crêpes are thin and flat.

    How to make the best crepes? ›

    Briefly whisk batter, then pour 1/4 cup into center of pan, lifting pan off heat and slightly tilting in a circular motion to help batter spread into an even circle. Cook until top is set and bottom is golden brown, about 45 seconds. Flip and cook on second side until cooked through, about 45 seconds more.

    How does Gordon Ramsay make pancake MiX? ›

    You will need 2 eggs, separated, 2 tbsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, 2 tsp baking powder, 60g vegetable oil, 300g buttermilk, 160g plain flour, and 1 tsp vanilla essence. Whisk the egg whites “*ntil foamy”. MiX all the other ingredients in a second bowl, then fold in the egg whites.

    How are crepes traditionally made? ›

    Crepes are thin pancakes that can be either sweet or savory. They are traditionally made with wheat flour, milk, eggs, and butter.
