Crepes
Crepes
4 eggs
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
4 T flour
pinch of salt
4 T milk
Whisk all together and let sit for 15 minutes. In a small frying pan sprayed with pam, pour in about 1/4 cup of the mix, swirl in pan to spread out like a regular crepe. Do not flip it, after that side is no longer wet looking slide it onto a big cookie sheet.
I made the crepe batter but didn't start making the crepes until the filling was made.
Filling
1lb ground turkey Italian sausage or italian sausage removed from the casing browned
1 block of low fat cream cheese
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan
1 bag of baby spinach
1 egg beaten for the egg wash
Okay this differs from the original a little, I made more filling than she did and she also made another filling but I didn't write that one down.
Brown the sausage, remove and pulse in your food processor(that is my little trick) Add back to skillet and add spinach to wilt. Remove from heat and add cheeses, mix until combined. Cook your crepes and place on the cookie sheet, filling and folding each one at you go. Brush on the egg wash and bake in a 350 degree oven until golden. I forgot to sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top before I baked them. Serve them with your favorite marina sauce spooned on top.
