Ingredients
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- A pinch of salt
For the Filling:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sauce:
1/2 cup hollandaise sauce (store-bought or homemade) – A creamy topping that ties the dish together.
Instructions
Step 1: Make Crepe Batter
Mix the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt in a large bowl until smooth and lump-free. Cover and rest for 20 minutes to relax the gluten and tenderize the crepes.
Step 2: Make crepes
Place a non-stick skillet or crepe pan on medium heat and gently butter it. Tip the pan to distribute 1/4 cup of batter thinly and evenly. Cook until edges lift and bottom is golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook 30 seconds more. Set aside the crepes and repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 3: Sauté spinach
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat and add minced garlic. Saute 1 minute till aromatic. Add spinach, nutmeg, salt, and pepper and simmer until soft. Set aside.
Step 4: Poach Eggs
Simmer a kettle of water with vinegar (optional) to keep the eggs intact. Carefully slip one egg into the heating water from a small basin. Poach for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks, longer for firmer yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and repeat with remaining eggs.
Step 5: Make Crepes
Place a crepe on a platter and generously top one side with sautéed spinach. Add a poached egg and fold the crepe to encompass the filling. Top with hollandaise sauce for a luscious finish.
Step 6: Serve
Sprinkle fresh parsley or chives on Egg Florentine Crepes and serve immediately. Complete the dish with roasted tomatoes or a fresh green salad.
