Summer is the perfect time to enjoy fresh, vibrant vegetables like squash and spinach. These ingredients come together beautifully in savory crepes, offering a light yet satisfying meal or appetizer. This dish highlights the flavors of the season while providing a nutritious and delicious option for any menu.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 small zucchini or summer squash, thinly sliced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (such as feta or Parmesan)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for sautéing
Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the crepe batter. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
While the batter rests, sauté the sliced squash in a little olive oil until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan and tilt to spread evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook the other side until golden.
Remove the crepe from the pan and place on a plate. Spread some of the sautéed vegetables and cheese over half of the crepe, then fold it over.
Repeat with the remaining batter and filling. Serve warm, garnished with extra cheese or herbs if desired.
Enjoying the Dish
This savory crepe is versatile and can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Pair it with a light salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal. The combination of summer squash and spinach makes it both flavorful and nutritious, perfect for celebrating the bounty of the season.
