Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 grams unsweetened protein powder
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 250 ml skim milk
- 50 ml water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 200 grams lean ham, sliced
- 100 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
- 50 grams baby spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, all-purpose flour, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, skim milk, and water until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter.
Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting the pan quickly to spread the batter thinly and evenly.
Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side until the edges begin to lift from the pan, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
For each crepe, place a portion of sliced ham and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on one half of the crepe.
Top with a few fresh baby spinach leaves and a dash of black pepper.
Fold the crepe in half and then fold once more to form a wedge.
Return the folded crepe to the skillet and cook for a minute on each side over low heat until the cheese melts.
Serve the crepes warm, garnished with extra spinach or a side salad if desired.
