Ingredients

1/2 onion
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp water
1 tbsp salted butter

Steps

Cook the chopped onion in butter in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, then add 1 cup spinach and cook until wilted.
Stir the cooked spinach mixture with ricotta and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then set the filling aside.
Blend or whisk 1 cup spinach, flour, eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, milk, and water until smooth, then rest the batter for 10 minutes.
Heat the skillet over medium heat and cook thin crepes for about 2 minutes per side, using the remaining butter as needed.
Fill each crepe with the ricotta mixture, fold it over, and return it to the skillet for 2 minutes per side.
Cook until the crepes are hot and the filling reaches 165 F, then serve warm.
