1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Spinach & Feta Filling

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups fresh spinach, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup vegan feta cheese, crumbled
¼ cup vegan cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped

Ingredient Note: Mix flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a simple vegan egg substitute.

Directions

Prepare flax mixture (5 minutes)
Combine ground flaxseed and water. Let it thicken until gel-like.
Make the crepe batter (5 minutes)
Whisk flour, flax mixture, plant milk, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth. Let rest for 20 minutes.
Prepare the filling (8 minutes)
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add spinach and sauté until wilted.
Finish the filling (3 minutes)
Remove from heat and mix spinach with vegan feta, vegan cream cheese, lemon juice, oregano, pepper, and herbs.
Cook the crepes (10 minutes)
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour a thin layer of batter and cook for about 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden and flexible.
Fill and fold (5 minutes)
Add spinach filling to each crepe and fold into triangles or rolls.

Texture Cue: Crepes should be soft, thin, and flexible, while the filling should be creamy with visible spinach and feta pieces.
