In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk until combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, whisking until smooth.
Stir in the melted butter to the crepe batter. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
While the batter rests, prepare the spinach filling. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, black pepper, and salt. Stir in the cooked spinach until evenly combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Pour a small ladleful of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom in a thin, even layer.
Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, until the edges lift easily and the bottom is golden. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Lay each crepe on a flat surface and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the spinach filling onto one side.
Roll the crepe gently or fold it into quarters. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
