Ingredients

  • For the Crepes:
  • - 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • - 2 eggs
  • - 1 cup milk
  • - 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • - 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • - Additional butter for cooking
  • For the Filling:
  • - 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • - 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • - 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, salt, and melted butter until smooth.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and add a small pat of butter.
  3. Pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to evenly spread the batter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the crepe is set and lightly golden underneath.
  4. Carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 8-10 crepes. Set the crepes aside.
  5. In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and crumble it into small pieces.
  6. Using the bacon grease in the skillet, sauté the mushrooms until they are golden brown and slightly softened.
  7. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.
  8. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the crumbled bacon and shredded mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Place a spoonful of the filling onto one side of each crepe and fold the crepe in half to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
  10. Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the filled crepes before serving.
  11. Serve the crepes warm and enjoy!
