The ricotta and spinach crepes are tasty and always a hit; they can be quickly prepared in advance and can be baked in the oven either with béchamel or cheese.
This au gratin gives the ricotta and spinach crepes a really delicious crispy crust on the surface, which meets the very soft and flavorful filling.
You’ll see that even children who usually don’t want to know about green vegetables will love them, and one doesn’t really understand why, maybe the color doesn’t appeal to them? Who knows.
Anyway, these ricotta and spinach crepes, in our house, were a great success, and even the nieces ate them willingly, so I really recommend them to you.

How to prepare Ricotta and Spinach Crepes
To prepare the ricotta and spinach crepes first make the crepes following my recipe found HERE.
Next, clean and wash the spinach, then with just the wash water, let them wilt in a pan with very little oil until they are well cooked.
Salt and season with nutmeg.
Let cool.
Once cool, incorporate the ricotta and mix, adjust the salt, and if you like, season with freshly ground black pepper.
Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C) then drizzle oil over a baking dish that can hold the crepes laid out flat.
Now fill each crepe halfway, then fold into a half-moon and again into a triangle.
Place them in the baking dish and sprinkle with grated cheese and a drizzle more of extra virgin olive oil.
Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 15 minutes or until you see a slightly golden crust on top.
Remove from the oven, let rest 5 minutes before serving and…
