Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • FILLING:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/4 cups milk
  • 2/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Pinch ground nutmeg
  • 2 drops hot pepper sauce
  • 2 cups diced fully cooked ham
  • 5 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (about 1/2 cup)

Instructions

  • 1. In a bowl, combine milk, egg and oil; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to milk mixture and mix until smooth. Heat a lightly greased 8-in. skillet; add 1/4 cup batter. Lift and turn pan to evenly coat the bottom. Cook until lightly browned; turn and brown the other side. Place each crepe in a greased muffin cup or custard cup, arranging the top edge in flutes. Place a small ball of foil in the center of each cup to hold the shape. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Remove foil.
  • 2. Meanwhile, for filling, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk; bring to a boil. Cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg and hot pepper sauce; stir until smooth. Stir in ham and spinach; heat through. Spoon into the hot crepe cups and serve immediately.
