Buckwheat Crepes
- 1 cup low-fat (2 percent) milk
- 13 cup water
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 23 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup unbleached white flour
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 6 ounces baby spinach
- Salt, preferably kosher salt
- freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 buckwheat crepes, above
- 2 eggs, poached or fried for four minutes
- 2 tablespoons grated Gruyere cheese
- Place the milk, water, eggs and salt in a blender.
- Cover the blender, and turn on at low speed.
- Add the flours, then the canola oil, and increase the speed to high.
- Blend for one minute.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for one to two hours.
- Place a seasoned 7- or 8-inch crepe pan over medium heat.
- Brush with butter or oil, and when the pan is hot, remove from the heat and ladle in about 3 tablespoons batter.
- Tilt or swirl the pan to distribute the batter evenly, and return to the heat.
- Cook for about one minute, until you can easily loosen the edges with a spatula.
- Turn and cook on the other side for 30 seconds.
- Turn onto a plate.
- Continue until all of the batter is used.
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil, and add the spinach.
- Blanch for 20 seconds, and transfer to a bowl of ice water.
- Drain and squeeze dry.
- Chop and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the crepes in a dry skillet over medium heat (or use the skillet you used to fry your eggs).
- Top with a spoonful of spinach, and top the spinach with the egg, setting the egg to one side so you can fold the crepe over.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the top, fold the crepe over, and transfer to a plate with a spatula.
- Serve hot.
