Crepes
3 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive oil
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp salt
Generous grind of ground black pepper
1/2 cup well drained cooked shredded spinach (or frozen spinach well squeezed and drained is fine)
Filling
50g / 1.7oz mascarpone or soft cream cheese
250g / 8.8oz sliced portobello mushrooms
150g / 5.2oz blue cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
To serve:
Herb salad, parsley and coriander
1. Place all ingredients in blender and process until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
2. Heat a small, shallow non-stick frypan over a medium heat. Wipe a paper towel with a few dribbles of Olive oil on it over the surface. Pour or ladle in approx 1/4 cup of mixture. Swirl the pan to evenly coat the surface with crepe mixture. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, then carefully flip the crepe over with a bendy spatula or palette knife. The second side only takes about 20 seconds to cook.
3. Turn out on to a wire rack covered with tea towel or paper towel while you cook the rest of the batch. To store, place sheets of waxed or greaseproof paper between crepes, place in a sealable plastic bag and freeze.
