Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is completely smooth. Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour a ladleful of the batter into the skillet, swirling to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges are golden, then flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
  3. In a separate pan, sauté 2 cups of fresh spinach in a splash of olive oil over medium heat until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. In another pan, scramble 4 eggs until fluffy and fully set.
  4. Take a warm crepe and lay it flat on a plate. Place sautéed spinach, fluffy scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese in the center. Fold the sides over the filling to create an envelope.
  5. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs and a drizzle of hot sauce or pesto if desired.
