Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups Skim milk
- 3 Egg whites
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 cups Mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Low-fat grated cheese
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, skim milk, egg whites, and salt until smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, tilting the skillet to ensure the batter coats the bottom in a thin, even layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the crepe's edges start to dry and lift from the pan, then gently flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat until all the batter is used, setting crepes aside on a plate.
For the filling, heat olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped red onion, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are soft, around 5 minutes.
Stir in the fresh spinach, cooking until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with black pepper to taste.
Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the low-fat grated cheese until melted and well combined with the spinach and mushrooms.
To assemble, place a crepe on a flat surface and spoon about 1/4 cup of the spinach and mushroom mixture onto the center of the crepe.
Fold one side of the crepe over the filling, then fold the other side over to cover the filling completely.
Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy meal!
