Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups non-fat milk
- 3 large egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- non-stick cooking spray
- 8 slices low-fat cooked ham
- 4 slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, non-fat milk, egg whites, and salt until smooth to form the crepe batter.
Cover the batter and let it rest for about 15 minutes while you prepare the fillings, allowing the flour to absorb the liquid.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly.
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on one side, until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly browned, then flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer cooked crepe to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
Once all the crepes are cooked, place a slice of low-fat ham, a half slice of Swiss cheese, and a small handful of fresh baby spinach onto one half of each crepe.
Fold the crepe in half to enclose the filling, then fold once more to create a triangle.
Return the filled crepes to the skillet to heat through if necessary; cook on low until the cheese has melted and the crepes are warmed through.
Serve immediately while hot, with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad.
