Ingredients
Scale
For the Crêpe Batter
- 1 cup flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- Pinch of salt
For the Filling
- 2 boneless chicken breasts, diced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/4 cup plant-based cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or plant-based butter
- Fresh herbs (parsley or thyme), chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crêpe Batter: Whisk together flour, eggs, plant-based milk, and salt until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes to develop an airy texture.
- Cook the Crêpes: Heat a non-stick pan and lightly grease with plant-based butter or olive oil. Pour a small ladle of batter, swirling to form a thin circle. Cook until edges lift easily, flip, and cook other side until light golden. Repeat with remaining batter and set aside.
- Sauté Chicken and Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet, sauté chopped onions and garlic until translucent and fragrant. Add diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Toss in sliced mushrooms and fresh spinach; cook until spinach wilts and mushrooms soften. Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and natural gelling agent to bind the filling smoothly.
- Assemble the Crêpes: Lay each crêpe flat, spoon a generous amount of warm filling in the center. Add plant-based cheese if desired, then fold sides or roll up gently.
- Heat and Serve: Warm filled crêpes gently in a pan or oven to melt cheese and combine flavors. Serve garnished with chopped fresh herbs.
Notes
- Ensure crêpe batter is thin enough to spread easily but not watery for perfect thinness.
- Resting the batter improves texture and reduces tearing.
- Use fresh spinach and mushrooms for best flavor and texture.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking filling to brown ingredients nicely.
- Keep cooked crêpes warm in a covered, warm oven before assembling.
