Mushroom and Spinach Egg Crepes
Eggs are rich in choline, a nutrient that aids memory. “The crepe is a light envelope for whatever herbs and vegetables you want to put inside,” says Wells.
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 large mushrooms, thinly sliced
Fine sea salt
8 ounces fresh spinach
Freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons chopped mixed herbs
2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Freshly ground pepper
Several handfuls of greens with dressing
- In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat one teaspoon oil over moderate heat.
- Add mushrooms, season with salt, and cook three minutes. Set aside to drain. Add spinach with two tablespoons water. Cover; cook until wilted (two minutes). Drain, chop, and season with salt and nutmeg.
- Crack one egg into a bowl; lightly beat with a fork, then add a tablespoon water. Add 1/2 teaspoon oil to skillet on high.
- Add egg, tilting pan to evenly spread. Cook until set but slightly wet (one minute). Remove pan from heat.
- Place half the vegetables, herbs, and cheese on crepe. Fold sides of crepe over filling. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with second egg. Serve with tossed greens.
Serves two.
