Spring Greens Crepes with Eggs & Veggies

Ingredients:

For the Crepes:

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup spinach or kale, finely blended

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter

Pinch of salt

For the Filling:

2 eggs (or more, based on preference)

1/2 cup asparagus, chopped

1/4 cup fresh peas (or frozen, thawed)

Fresh spinach leaves (a small handful)

Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, etc.)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: edible flowers for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crepes:

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, spinach or kale puree, eggs, milk, and salt until smooth. The mixture should be pourable but not too thin. If needed, adjust the liquid or flour to reach the right consistency.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of olive oil or butter.

Pour a small amount of the crepe batter into the pan, swirling to spread it evenly across the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Set aside and repeat with the rest of the batter.

2. Prepare the Filling:

In a separate pan, sauté the asparagus and peas in a small amount of olive oil over medium heat until tender (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.

Fry the eggs to your liking (sunny-side-up or scrambled work great here).

3. Assemble the Crepes:

Place one crepe on a plate. Layer with a handful of fresh spinach leaves, the sautéed asparagus and peas, and top with a fried egg.

Garnish with fresh herbs and edible flowers for an added touch of color and flavor.

4. Serve & Enjoy:

Serve immediately for a fresh, delicious, and nutritious meal!
