How to prepare Spinach crepes with salmon

To prepare the spinach crepes with salmon, first break the eggs into a bowl, then add the salt 1, the oil 2, and the milk 3. Mix well with a hand whisk.

Add the fresh spinach, washed and well squeezed 4, and blend with an immersion blender 5 until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous mixture. At this point, incorporate the flour 6.

Mix again with the whisk to fully absorb it 7. Now heat a non-stick pan with a diameter of 9 inches and grease it with oil, then pour a ladle of batter into the center 8 and move the pan to distribute it evenly 9.

Cook over medium-low heat until the edges begin to peel away 10, then flip the crepe and cook on the other side for a total of about 3 minutes 11. Remove the crepe from the pan and stack them one by one on a plate 12; with these quantities, you will obtain about 10 spinach crepes.

After cooking all the crepes, proceed with the filling: spread the fresh cheese over the entire surface 13, then lay a couple of slices of smoked salmon 14. First, fold the sides inward 15.

Once the sides are folded, roll the crepe 16 to seal the filling 17. Proceed in this way to fill all the others. Your spinach crepes with salmon are ready to be enjoyed 18!
