Ricotta and Spinach Packets


When I heard about these cute little packets,  I knew I had to make them. They take a little time but are easy to put together. If the packets seem like too much work just roll up crepe style. These have a savory filling but I'm thinking sweet fillings like apple, then drizzled with a caramel sauce just before serving would be delicious too.

Pancakes/crepes:
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 cup flour
  1. Mix together in order given.
  2. Fry pancakes in pan, using 1/3 cup batter per pancake. You should end up with 6.
  3. Set aside.
Filling:
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese 
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup Gouda cheese, grated
  • 3/4 cup spinach, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  1. Mix until well blended. Divide into 6 portions. 
  2. Spoon each portion of filling on each pancake and gather up the edges into packets.
  3. Tie with string, or with chives if you like.
  4. Place in greased baking pan,
  5. Bake in a 350º oven for 20 minutes or until edges are crisp.
  6. Serve with your favorite savory white sauce.

    1. I meant to say crepes rather than creeps...so much for automation.
