Baked Crapes with Spinach & Feta

Tweet

Crapes? Very easy! You can stuff anything in a crape. Jam or chocolate with bananas – sure you can but that’s boring and not the best nutritious option there for main meal of the day.

Let’s do our spin on it. Spinach and feta are already a great pair but what if we roll it in some nice semi thick, fluffy spiced crapes with tomato sauce poured over, covered in cheese and baked in the oven?

Absolute win win! Delicious, warm and healthyish meal.

If you are not a fan of spinach and you want something meaty, simply swap the filling for pate (you can mix it with caramelised onion) and carry on with the same steps in this recipe. The prep time will be even quicker. Simple as that.

First, I will show you how to make butter for our polish style crapes where they are fluffier than your traditional French ones.

Ingredients

  

Crape butter

• 250 g Plain Flour
• 1.5 cup Milk
• 1 Lerge Egg
• 2 tsp Olive Oil
• 50 ml Water
• 0.5 tsp Italian Herbs Mix
• Pinch of Salt

Filling

• 600 g Fresh Spinach
• 70 g Feta Cheese
• 2 Garlic Cloves
• Salt & Pepper

Toppings

• Tomato Passata
• Shredded Mature Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

 

• Combine all the ingredients for crape butter together using a hand mixer
• Heat up a shallow frying pan. Using soup ladle, pour full spoon of mixture on to the pan and move around so it will cover the bottom. Cook until you see the edges of the crape rise from the pan. Then flip over and cook until ready. Continue until all crape butter is gone. You should end up with around eight large crapes
• Meanwhile, wash and drain well the fresh spinach. Warm up a deep pan with 1tsp of butter. Gradually start adding spinach. Cook for 8 to 10min. Mix from time to time. By the end add crashed garlic cloves and season with salt and pepper to taste
• Once the spinach is ready, transfer into the strainer and using a spoon press down few times to remove any access water.  Leave on the side to cool down
• Chop into cubes feta cheese and mix in with spinach
• Spread 2 or 3 tbs of passata on the bottom of the baking dish and preheat oven to 190c
• Assemble your crapes by spreading 2 tbs of spinach mix evenly on each one of them, then roll it up
• Place crapes into the baking dish and spread passata on top. They don’t need to be fully covered up. Add cheddar cheese. You can make it as cheesy as you want
• Bake for 15 to 20 min and enjoy hot
