Ingredients

For the Crepes

  • 100 g (¾ cups) All Purpose Flour
  • 2 (2) Large Eggs
  • 300 ml (1 ¼ cups) Milk
  • Pinch of Salt

For the Filling

  • 10 (10) Large Eggs
  • 150 g (1 ⅓ cups) Emmental/Gruyere Cheese Shredded
  • 170 g (6 oz) Fresh Spinach
  • 5 tsp (5 tsp) Dijon Mustard

Instructions

  • Set the oven on a low heat: about 160℉/100℃ Fan to keep the crepes warm.
  • Combine the crepe ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together thoroughly, until lumps are removed. Heat a large frying pan on a med/high heat.
  • Melt the butter and use a pastry brush to brush a little over the pan before adding about 1/2 cup of batter to the pan. Swirl the pan to coat the base, then cook for about a minute on each side. If the pancake isn't loose, it may not be ready to flip. 
  • Repeat for all batter, placing crepes on a plate in the oven as you go. Serve as they are with your toppings/fillings of choice:

For the Filling

  • While the crepes stay warm in the oven, cook the eggs (over medium) - 1 per crepe. Do this by frying on a high heat, then flipping so that both sides are cooked. 
  • On one half of each crepe, add about 1/2 tsp mustard, some baby spinach, a handful of grated cheese, a fried egg and some salt and pepper. Fold the untouched half over this and place in the frying pan (still on med/high heat). Let cook for a minute before flipping. Let cook another minute so that the edges crisp and the cheese melts. 
  • Serve by folding again (into quarters) and place on a plate. Add a little more salt and pepper and serve immediately
