Pesto and Ricotta Filled Spinach Crepes with Pomegranate

 

For the Crepes:

1 cup milk

1 cup flour

2 eggs

2 T. Olive Oil, plus more for cooking the crepes.

1 cup frozen spinach

Pinch of salt

For the Filling:

16 oz ricotta cheese

1 jar Colavita Pesto

For the Topping:

Fresh or frozen pomegranate seeds

 

Add all the crepe ingredients to a blender and purée until smooth. Pour it into a bowl. Heat a crepe or frying pan over medium-low heat. Drizzle the pan with about 1 tsp. of Olive Oil. Ladle a scoop of the crepe mixture into the hot pan and swirl it around the surface of the pan, so that there is a thin, even layer. Allow it to cook for about 1-2 minutes and flip. Cook another minute. Slide the crepe from the pan onto a dish. Oil the pan again and repeat with the remaining batter. For the filling: In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta and the pesto. To assemble: Spoon the cheese and pesto mixture into the center of the crepe and fold in thirds. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and serve alongside remaining cheese.
