These savoury spinach crepes are light and fluffy, stuffed with Italian ham and sweet provolone cheese with an added bonus-a secret ingredient for those picky eaters; fresh organic spinach leaves!
Spinach is a super food loaded with tons of nutrients in a low calorie package. Dark leafy greens like spinach are important for skin and hair, bone health, and provide protein, iron, vitamins and minerals. With it’s mild flavour the delicate spinach literally goes undetected in this recipe!
I was somewhat skeptical as to whether or not my kids would eat these (since they are green!) but quickly realized that as long as they don’t see bits or flecks of ‘green stuff’ then any recipe is a go! For parents with picky eaters, this is an ideal recipe to make because it’s fun for kids to eat and super healthy.
These crepes are somewhat on the thicker side but you can always reduce the amount of liquid you add to the frying pan if you prefer super thin crepes.
Don’t be alarmed if the first one or two crepes don’t turn out-you’ll quickly get the hang of it and will be making professional looking crepes in no time!
If you try this recipe (and love it!) be sure to snap a pic and tag me on Instagram with #bitesforfoodies so I can see your creation!
You had me at the melted cheese! Seriously this looks so delish! I tried crepes and I like the savory more than the sweet.
Lol! Thanks..I also love savoury crepes!
Oh my gosh, this looks divine. I’ve been looking for some healthy and tasty recipes, this will be added to my list for sure.
Thank you Tami! This one could work for you 😉
I have never heard of spinach before, I am curious if they would taste good with fruit to like a breakfast crepe
Really? It’s great in fruit smoothies!
I meant spinach crepes, I have heard of spinach :p
Ok , good! I thought that was a little strange! lol!
I’ve never heard of Spinach Crepes before. They sound like an interesting food to eat.
Yum! I will have to make these spinach crepes! It’s me, the picky eater again. I don’t like melted cheese, but I would love to throw some grilled chicken in there with the spinach and maybe parmesan cheese!! Thanks!!
Oh ya! I’ve never heard of anyone not liking melted cheese?!?! lol! Chicken and Parm sounds delicious!
maybe it is the consistency? i hate how it is like a cheese flavored loogie hahaha.
Oh these look so good – and I love the fact there is spinach ‘hidden’ in them too! Kaz x
Not had this kind of crepes before but they look delicious though mine always include meat lol
I used to not like spinach, but I have grown to love it over the years. This recipe looks delicious in every sense of the word even if I don’t eat meat (I’d have to substitute it with something else).
I don’t eat meat either…I just stuff mine with vegan cheese! Next time I’m going to add sauteed mushrooms!
I always think of crepes as sweet. I have never had them with savory fillings! I would love to try this recipe!
I think in North America they are mainly eaten sweet however, in Europe the savoury ones are very popular!
These spinach crepes look and sound so good. We grow up eating spinach and so did my boys. I will have to try this recipe for sure. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks! I also love spinach and I think this is a great way to sneak it into a meal 😉
Oh wow that looks amazing. It would be a great way to keep my kiddos from eating off my plate. The green would scare them away, until they tasted it I’m sure!
Now that’s the way to make a crepe. I love spinach! I’d try these, definitely.
Thanks! I don’t consider myself an expert just yet though, lol!
I am not a spinach person. Looks really different. Have never ate anything like this.
Neither is my husband…but he loved these 😉
Oooo these look fantastic!!! When I lived in FL I had a French cafe right down the street and I would always go there for crepes! Haven’t had one in years! I need to make these!
Thank you! Lucky you…I lived in France for a year so you can imagine how many crepes I ate! lol!
These look delicious and healthy. I’m a vegetarian, but could easily substitute vegetables for the ham.
So am I! In fact, I added only vegan cheese to my crepes and they were still delicious. I think some sauteed mushrooms would be great in these!
This is such an awesome recipe. I love spinach and these would be awesome for quick lunches.
These crepes look delicious and I love the idea of spinach crepes! These would be great for an afternoon snack or how about right now
Thanks, next time I’ll try them with kale!
I agree–I would love a couple of these right now! It is almost dinner time and these are making me very hungry-and I love spinach!
I’ve always wanted to try making crepes. I’m afraid I’ll be left with a burned on, sticky mess. These look absolutely delicious!
You can do it, you just need to get the hang of it. The first ones I make always look terrible!!
I can’t even tell you how much I love crepes! This recipe looks divine and I’ll definitely be pinning!
Thank you…and thanks for pinning 😉
Great looking recipe! We’ll have to try this one. We love crepes.
We do too…but I don’t make them often enough, lol!
This looks so delicious. I’ve never tried doing crepes, but this looks easy to do. I want to try this.
Ooh interesting! I wonder what it would taste like, but I’m pretty sure it’s still tasty. Never tried making crepes though but I love this twist!
It’s a great way to make these healthy 😉
That really does sound delicious. I’m not sure I would be able to make the crepes but I am willing to give it a try!
They’re easy to make once you get the hang of it! The first few usually never turn out though, lol!
YUM! That looks so good. We haven’t tried making crepes at home before. This one looks really good.
Very interesting. I have never made crepes, but I should try making these, though I’m not sure if my husband and son would eat them 😀
Is it only because of the spinach? You could obviously omit it 😉
I have never made crepes but my mother-in-law did when she came to visit. This looks easy enough, I might be able to even make them.
They are a bit tricky until you get the hang of it! My frying pan is horrible so I can’t get them super thin even if I try, lol!
I’ve never made my own crepes but these look amazing! I love the addition of spinach and can’t wait to try my hand at making them.
Thanks! I’ve made them stuffed with spinach but I love incorporating the spinach the batter!
This sounds like an awesome way to sneak that spinach in there! I am going to have to try this.
Great, I’d love some feedback when you do!
I’ve never had a spinach crepe before but I bet I’d like it. I have had spinach tortilla wraps and they were great. Loving this twist on a normal crepe.
I love tortilla wraps! I prefer adding the leafy greens to the batter as opposed to stuffed inside the crepes since they tend to get soggy.
I’ve never thought of using spinach in crepes! What a good idea to add some added nutrition – Love it!
Thanks! And yes, it definitely makes these healthier 😉
