Ham Spinach Crepe Cups Recipes

SPINACH AND HAM CREPES RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• 1. Cook spinach about 5 minutes in boiling water; drain. 2. Place half of chopped ham in a food processor. Add the spinach, cream, salt, and nutmeg, and blend until pureed. 3. Return the puree to a clean saucepan and add the remainder of the ham. Stir over a low heat until thick. If puree appears too thin, add 1 TBS cornstarch dissolved in 2 TBS cold water, and it will thicken immediately. 4. Spread the ham and spinach puree on a crepe. Roll crepe and place in an oiled, ovenproof dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Heat for 15 minutes in a 400F oven. Allow cheese to brown slightly under the broiler. May be served with Mornay or Hollandaise Sauce. Makes 6 crepes. Each crepe = 3 Weight Watchers points.

BREAKFAST CREPES WITH HAM, VEGETABLES, AND EGG

Steps:

• Mix milk, flour, eggs, butter, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Transfer batter to an electric blender and combine on high speed until blended; it's fine if batter has some lumps. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add ham and cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes more. Reduce heat to low and stir in spinach and tomato. Keep warm.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/3 cup batter into the skillet, swirling to cover the pan. Cook until underside of crepe is lightly brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Loosen edge of crepe and flip. Cook until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes more. Set aside; repeat with remaining batter.
• Place crepes onto the prepared baking sheet. Add ham-veggie mixture to the center of each crepe. Crack an egg carefully over ham mixtures. Fold edges of crepes inward.
• Bake crepes in the preheated oven until egg whites set, 8 to 11 minutes. Top crepes with parsley and season with salt and pepper.

SPINACH CREPES WITH HAM AND MUSHROOM

Steps:

• Wash the spinach and place in a blender or food processor. Add the egg, butter, flour and milk, and blend well for 1 minute. Pour into a bowl and allow to sit for 30 minutes.
• Wash the mushrooms and put in blender or food processor along with the ham, sour cream and paprika. Puree and set aside.
• Heat a crepe pan, or small non-stick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water jumps in the pan. Put 1 tablespoon of crepe batter into the pan and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly. Turn down the heat. Crepe should be very thin so it will cook in less than a minute. The crepes do not need to be turned. Remove the crepe and continue with the rest of the batter, one at a time. You should thin the batter with 1-2 tablespoons of water as you make the crepes, because the batter will thicken as it sits. You want to keep the crepes very thin!
• Place each crepe in an oven dish as you make them. Spread each crepe with the ham and mushroom filling, and fold.
• Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top, and heat in pre-heated 375F oven for 2-5 minutes.
